Scikit-learn docs in Chinese, packaged for offline reading

What it does ApacheCN’s repo is a full Chinese translation of the scikit-learn 0.21.3 official documentation and examples. It repackages the manual as browsable GitHub and Gitee Pages, and also distributes it as local installable packages so the entire reference can be read without an internet connection.

The interesting bit Most doc translations stop at a website; this one also ships via PyPI, NPM, and Docker as runnable local servers. The maintainers run a paid proofreading program—contributors earn a small per-word fee for correcting chapters, which is a pragmatic way to keep quality up in a massive translation project.

Key highlights

• Covers the full 0.21.3 user guide, tutorials, and translated examples, with older 0.19 and 0.18 versions archived.
• Dual-hosted on GitHub Pages and Gitee Pages for faster access inside and outside mainland China.
• Distributed as local packages via PyPI, NPM, and Docker for fully offline use.
• Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0; the project explicitly encourages redistribution with attribution.
• The API reference is not translated in-repo; it links directly to the official English scikit-learn site.

Caveats

• The translation targets scikit-learn 0.21.3, which significantly lags behind current upstream releases.
• The API reference section is an external link to the official English documentation, not a localized page.

Verdict Worth bookmarking if you read Chinese and work with older sklearn stacks or need offline access. If you need the latest scikit-learn features, you’ll still have to rely on the English upstream.
