Dear 陳韋安 (how should it be pronounced or transliterated?),

As the translations meister for LilyPond I welcome you, Carl already
gave you the entry point for translators os their work can be integrated
with documentation in English and the 6 other existing translations, so
I have only two things to add.

1) You will use our version control system Git to fetch the sources,
save your work and make patches, and the website (which has far more
audience than the documentation) is written in Texinfo (a markup
language easy to type).

2) I'm sorry that it will not be possible to build a Chinese translation
in PDF format in the near future, because PDF formatting is done through
TeX and a special TeX format file for Texinfo which doesn't support
extra-european languages.  That's why your translation will be built
only in HTML format, like the existing Japanese translation.

Best,
John Mandereau
