Translate Blog Post

Translate a blog post between Chinese and English, creating the corresponding language file with proper front matter and natural prose.

File Convention

Language	Filename	Example URL
Chinese	index.md	/zh/post/...
English	index.en.md	/en/post/...

Both files live in the same post directory (e.g., content/post/2025-05-05-grow-together/).

Workflow

1. Identify source: Read the existing file to determine the source language
   • Only index.md exists → source is Chinese, create index.en.md
   • Only index.en.md exists → source is English, create index.md
   • Both exist → inform user, ask which to update
2. Translate front matter (see rules below)
3. Translate body (see quality guidelines below)
4. Write the target file
5. Fix quotes: Run uv run scripts/fix_quotes.py on both the source file and the translated file. This normalizes quotation marks per content: English/ASCII content inside quotes → straight "", Chinese content inside quotes → curly ""
6. Build and verify: Run to confirm no errors
