Working on it. ReadMe, issues and PRs are just a beginning. We definitely want to involve as many contributors as possible.

Because is written by chinese developers for a chinese company?

They put that code in github, releasing it to non-chinese developers.

Won't it be good if code has at least some documentation in English ? It's not that they don't want, they have some part in English.

GitHub isn't just for English users

The hegemony of English is unquestionable.

Last time I checked English was the 3rd most spoken language on the planet.

- Chinese

- Spanish

- English

You mean in tech?

That's ordering by native speakers. If you count non-natives, English has far more speakers than Spanish (but far less than Mandarin).

Also, English is the most widely spoken too, by a wide wide margin.

In purpose, to give a taste what it is like for non-english speakers to english programmers too /s

Why is there rarely any non-english-language documentation for most codebases nowadays? The world doesn't revolved around english-speaking countries.

Because English is the lingua franca of the software industry, and developers are usually expected to know English, no matter where they're from.

The point of my comment was, that shouldn't necessarily be the case forever, and it might not be reasonable to expect it to be.

Sure, nothing ever stays the same, but I think that for the foreseeable future, we can reasonably expect English to stay the universal language of software development. It's the default foreign language people learn in their home countries for a lot of reasons, so a lot of people who want to get into the field already have at least a basic understanding of English. This aids them in learning and communication with other developers, and it's just too convenient to be displaced any time soon.

Because it is a lot of work. Nginx always had good Russian docs, for reasons you can guess.

Why should there be?

Why is the summary in English?

Hopefully the Chinese will not be as arrogant as you when they take over the leading role on this planet.

I was not arrogant. I am not a native English speaker. I expect most softwares to have a documentation in English.

Do you want to learn 5 different languages just because 5 different kind of people write good software ?

It's easy to blame others.
