4 years ago Hi all, with my lab being partially re-opened I'm a bit busy this week.
@cassiawag in terms of feedback, I think sometimes the figures can be a bit hard to read. e.g. sometimes the report mentions 5 clusters, but it was not very obvious which 5 it was refering to. Also sometimes there are very similar colors - I remember once it was about two cities in California but their colors were impossible to tell apart. I understand this might all have to do with automation with auspice, which can provide a more interactive experience. Maybe there's a decision to be made, between 'interactive' and 'static, academic-like' figures. I feel the figures are more or less 'static' in the reports anyways, so maybe one can consider taking a snapshot and put some texts/labels on the figure, to make it clearer.
This is just a minor issue, though. I'm impressed with the timely, high-quality reports every week! Thanks for your effort in fighting the pandemic!
All the best!

Happy weekend @nextstrain/mandarin,
The situation report from 2020-05-08 is ready to be translated to Mandarin. This week's report is short and sweet and focuses on Asia. We tried to tie the trees in with other epidemiological info; I'm curious to hear what you think of it. As with other regional reports (and really all reports) if you don't have time or are not able to translate this report, totally fine. Just let me know.
We've been publishing weekly reports on covid for two months now! As such, we're taking time this next week to re-evaluate narratives and figure out how we can make these reports as useful as possible going forward. I'd welcome your feedback on the situation reports -- what you find useful, what you don't, how often you think reports should be published, how these reports help (or don't help) Mandarin speakers.

Twitter post to translate: “Want to learn more about outbreaks in Asia? This week's situation report uses #SARSCoV2 genomes to track the recent spread of #COVID19 in Asia. The report is now available in Mandarin. Thank you @, @, and @ for the rapid translation."
Thanks so much for your help -- it's always a pleasure to work with you. See below for standard translation stuff.
Best, Cassia
Logistics Please update the translations board as you work on the translation: https://github.com/orgs/nextstrain/projects/7
Please assign yourself to the translation if you’re working on it this week.
When a translation is ready for publication -- at minimum meaning two people have worked on it and both agree that it’s ready -- please create a pull request to merge to
masterand tag me and the issue in it!Discussion board for your team is here: https://github.com/orgs/nextstrain/teams/mandarin
Standard rules for translation: Note that the file to translate is in Markdown. In general, it is important not to change any formatting or links. (Although it is okay to update Wikipedia or CDC links to the appropriate language version.) Comments to help with translation are noted in comment symbols like
<! -- Comment -->.Please add your name under
translators:with new line, tab, and dash, formatted just like authors are. Please also add a link to your professional page (can use Twitter) undertranslatorLinks:.Note: You may know of other great resources available in Mandarin; please don’t add them to the situation report. We need to keep content the same across all translations, so we can be confident in the accuracy of what we publish. Thanks for understanding.
At minimum, I require two sets of eyes on every translation; one of those people should have a background in phylogenetics. Although if you have more, that’s fine too.
Feel free to use a live, online editor like hackmd (sign in with GitHub) to translate together.
