A collaborative Chinese translation of Google's Material Design specification.
1sters/material_design_zh is a community-driven, open-source project that translates Google's official Material Design specification from English into Chinese. It makes the comprehensive design language documentation—covering Android, Chrome OS, and web platforms—accessible to Chinese-speaking designers and developers. The project organizes translated content into Markdown files, which can be compiled into web pages or PDF documents.
Chinese-speaking UI/UX designers and developers who are building applications for Android, web, or Chrome OS and need to implement or understand Material Design principles. It is also valuable for technical writers, educators, and contributors interested in localization efforts.
Developers choose this project because it provides a complete, collaboratively translated version of the official Material Design spec, which is not natively available in Chinese. Its open-collaboration model ensures ongoing updates and quality through community review, and the structured output allows for easy consumption in multiple formats.

Employs an open-collaboration model via GitHub with clear steps for forking, translating, and pull requests, enabling widespread participation as outlined in the contribution guidelines.
The README indicates the last major update was in 2015, making it likely out of sync with recent Material Design evolutions and missing new chapters, with no evidence of ongoing maintenance.
Requires contributors to use GitHub commands and follow specific steps like forking and pull requests, which can be daunting for non-developers or those unfamiliar with version control systems.
Relies on volunteer efforts leading to sporadic updates; some chapters are only partially translated (e.g., Icons at 90%), as noted in the progress records, causing gaps in coverage.
