Dear Author's,

First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude for writing Cosmic Python. It is an excellent book that provides deep insights into domain modeling and software architecture using Python. As a Python developer from China, I believe many Chinese developers would greatly benefit from this knowledge.

I have started translating Cosmic Python into Chinese and have forked the repository here: https://github.com/fushall/cosmicpython-book. My goal is to make this book more accessible to Chinese readers while strictly adhering to a non-commercial purpose.

As 2025 marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, I think it is a great time to introduce more Python enthusiasts in China to this fantastic book. I would love to have your permission to continue this translation and make it publicly available on GitHub.

Please let me know your thoughts. I truly appreciate your work and look forward to your response.

Best regards,
fushall

亲爱的作者们,

首先,我想表达我对《Cosmic Python》一书的真诚感激。这是一本非常优秀的书,深入探讨了使用 Python 进行领域建模和软件架构的知识。作为一名来自中国的 Python 开发者,我相信许多中国开发者会从这本书中受益匪浅。

我已经开始将《Cosmic Python》翻译成中文,并且在此处 fork 了该仓库:https://github.com/fushall/cosmicpython-book 。我的目标是让更多中文读者能够接触到这本书,并且始终坚持非商业用途。

由于 2025 年是中国的蛇年,我认为这是一个非常好的时机,将这本精彩的书介绍给更多中国的 Python 爱好者。我非常希望能够获得您的许可,继续进行这项翻译,并将其公开发布在 GitHub 上。

请告知您的想法。我非常感激您的作品,并期待您的回复。

此致,
fushall

Hi there, I think that's probably a breach of the license terms I'm afraid, it's CC-BY-NC-Noderivs, and translations (probably) count as derivative works. O'Reilly are probably going to bring out an official Chinese edition at some point.

I'm extremely pleased that you've enjoyed the book and want to share it with more people!

I am not a lawyer, so I can't be 100% sure about the license issue.

Maybe it would be best to delete this issue, and I will forget all about it?
