Great, lets do it! Is there a way to break through the blocker of the
legal support right now? Could of porting be done on a wiki like

That would seem to be an effective way to get multiple people helping on
the translation and then get an official stamp by Ms. Li or other legal
representative that could help with the project.

What do you all think of this?

The speed of getting this done is really up to us, right?
