Establishing a Chinese Blog Translation Workflow
I’ve been trying to translate Chinese blog posts into English and publish them on the Medium platform. Currently, I manually select articles and give them to my girlfriend for translation, then she gives them back to me for publishing. The whole process is still inefficient, so I’m taking advantage of the holiday to optimize this workflow.
Update and optimize the Chinese blog CI process
- Add an automated script to pull article MD source code, so there’s always a copy of the latest Chinese blog on the VPS
Deploy a web service for blog source files on the VPS
Using local-web-server here
Also add some security measures with auth configuration
ws --auth.user root --auth.pass 123456
This way you can directly access all MD article source code via web, and ws also provides simple search highlighting, which is basically sufficient
- Manually save source files locally
- Send to publisher after translation
- Manually commit to English repo, auto-deployment
This is the first phase of the workflow. In the future, I’ll address the issue of automatic publishing after translation based on needs.
