how to translate and compile to Chinese #176

Closed bubifengyun closed 6 years ago

bubifengyun commented 6 years ago

good book! I hope that it could be inserted or translated to chinese, then make can produce a pdf file which written in Chinese. however, if even only one Chinese character used, it will pop error. Any suggestions? thank you.

We have https://github.com/yiisoft-contrib/yiiframework.com that seems to build Chinese well. Could be adopted to this repository as well.

yiiframework.com does not build PDF for chinese yet. Turns out to be quite hard to make chinese and japanese characters to work in LaTeX.

bubifengyun commented 6 years ago

Thank you @cebe I think, it may be better to use xetex instead of pdflatex. I find another markdown template for Chinese, bookdown, which is RMarkdown. I will use it. Thank you.

cebe commented 6 years ago

if you come up with a way to produce a PDF from markdown in chinese I'd love to take a look at the solution to adopt it for yiiframework.com

bubifengyun commented 6 years ago

@cebe OK, I will test it. I am new bee. it may cost long time to give the answer.

@cebe I had write a Bookdown template for UTF8 chinese which based on xelatex. here is my template. https://github.com/bubifengyun/deepin-bible/releases But it requires R language, pandoc and texlive 2018, it cost so many tools. Can it ok? Thank you.

cebe commented 5 years ago

@bubifengyun thanks for sharing it. Installing tools should not be a problem, but your repo is completely in chinese so I don't know where to start :) Could you make a description in english on how to use it?

bubifengyun commented 5 years ago

@cebe OK, I will try. But it had only Chinese version now. I will try make an english version first.

How To Make Book {#chap:makebookenglish}

Required Software

Before make this book, you need install several software in your computer. Such as,

Here I will show how to make in Linux Deepin 15.5. 

$\$$ sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev \
rstudio texlive-full pandoc make

If version cannot meet the requirements, please download from office site.

Build Book

Download source code from github: https://github.com/bubifengyun/deepin-bible

Then change to the download-directory, run make, if success, you will get the book in ./_book/deepin-bible.pdf.

If pops error, maybe you should install some software, please let me know, thank you.

Back words

All the title and contents is Chinese, if you need it, I can change to English. Then Chinese and other UTF-8 characters could be added in this book.
