[midudev]

Hi! I've translated Eloquent JavaScript 4th edition to Spanish along their formats (PDF, Epub and Mobi). Please, find attached the links and tell me if there's something I'm missing I should be aware of! Thanks for your awesome work to the JS community!

Hi Miguel. That is amazingly fast, a full translation less than a week after the 4th edition was released. How much of this is machine translation, and how much is human translation?

Hey @marijnh! I used GPT-4 API to translate markdown files separating by chunks. Every time it returned me a translation, I've manually checked and fixed all the typos and errors (it was far from perfect, I must say...).

After having everything checked, I've managed to create the PDF and HTML and read the whole book again (manually on my Kindle) to fix some inconsistencies.

I started with the translation when I saw the Hacker News article about the 4rd edition one week ago. Also my community have helped me to put some fixes with Pull Requests. 👍

Thanks @midudev 🚀!

Hard to judge for a non-Spanish speaker how machine-y this reads, but I'm sure it's a better experience then using browser translation. Attached patch links this from the book's page. Only issue I noticed is that the code sandboxes in some chapters don't work because the chapter scripts are missing (for example in chapter 7: Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://eloquent-javascript-es.vercel.app/code/chapter/07_robot.js”.)

Thanks! I will take a look to it to fix asap. 🙇
