I think adding an official Chinese translation to the cargo handbook is a difficult task. There are mainly two reasons for this:

1. Most maintainers of the handbook are not proficient in Chinese, which makes it challenging to review and maintain the Chinese translation.
2. MdBook, the tool used to create the handbook, does not support multiple languages, making it difficult to reuse the same tool for tracking and deploying the Chinese translation.

So I think it is better to contribute to rust-lang-cn/cargo-cn. Then we don't need to translate it from scratch.

Thanks for your advices.

Yes rust-lang-cn/cargo-cn seems like a better place for the request, as hi-rustin suggested. Other books under rust-lang org are also translated outside by volunteers.

For multilingual support of mdbook, please see rust-lang/mdBook#5, or other 3rd party mdbook plugin like google/mdbook-i18n-helpers.

I wonder if we should have a place to show different translation, just like TRPL does.
