Pre-intro
"Never try translate "" into Chinese - because it has been a meme for years. Just don't try that. Unless one day we do have a similar meme in Chinese. Or there is a proper translation for the name itself."

"Every time a wiki editor finishes documenting a mod, the mod author creates new content... happened with GregTech, Project Red, Immersive Engineering.."

- Xbony2

That is probably the nightmare for every wiki editor. Let's do our best to crush the nightmare.

Self-intro
Salvete!

Hey there. I am 3tusk, an ordinary Minecraft player, to be specific, Minecraft mods for most time.

In real life I am a high school senior. Often suffering putting off things and forget them until due dates come. Beside academic stuff and Minecraft, I self-study Java, Lua and Kotlin. Usually I consider it as the influence of Minecraft.

For those who may interest, 3tusk is the abbreviation for  Urey.S.Knowledge, where 'Urey' is my english name IRL.

It is true that Urey sounds like a Russian name, but its pronunciation resembles my real Chinese name somehow.

I usually capitalize my id. That said, I prefer to use 3TUSK.

I used to do these things:
 * write text-based tutorial in Simplified Chinese and post on www.mcbbs.net, a Chinese Minecraft forum.
 * persuade people to play ic2 and gregtech and do not touch magic mods like thaumcraft and ars magica

Currently I am:
 * Study. Many times, I feel lost. When I feel lost, I sometimes tell myself, "everything will be fine".
 * Work as a mod localizer
 * Working on localization support for:
 * ChromatiCraft.
 * Botania??? I only have a draft.
 * Immersive Engineering.
 * Forestry.
 * Railcraft.
 * Tinkers Construct? I dunno.
 * Any mod that lacks Simplified Chinese support (must be requested by a certain number of players)
 * Any mod that presents in BTM
 * maintaing a port of FrogCraft.
 * Creating my modpack series. Being paralyzed by balance drama.
 * Challenge accepted: translate more than 80% of translatable things here into Simplified Chinese!

Things that consider as stable

 * Documentation
 * AcademyCraft
 * CustomSteve
 * Doc. Translation
 * IC2 Nuclear Control
 * Avaritia
 * Advanced Genetics
 * GregTech 5
 * Railcraft
 * Buildcraft

Which version of translation do you use and why?
Good question. For now I always search these following sites for translation:
 * MCBBS, one of the biggest online Minecraft-themed forums in China. Influential in Chinese Minecraft community.
 * MCMOD百科 (lit. M(ine)C(raft) MOD Encyclopaedia), an online encyclopaedia only for Minecraft Mods. Saying "encyclopaedia" means that it is NOT a wiki site. It isn't. And I mean the real McCoy. Influential in the Chinese modded Minecraft community. Use CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 as license for most contents.
 * GitHub. No need to explain.

If no result found... I probably choose to submit a brandy new translation.

TODO

 * A Navbox for ChromatiCraft
 * Keep eyes on GregTech 6 documentation & its translation
 * Translation:
 * Steve's Carts
 * Arcane Scrolls
 * Natura
 * Ztone
 * ArmorPlus

Contact?
Now I am not be as crazy about social media as of I used to be. Anyhow here is a list.
 * GitHub.
 * My blog. And yes it is down currently.
 * IRC.
 * For now I only show up in #FTB-Wiki and #BTM as "TriTUSK". Nickname cannot start with number, forcing me use prefix "tri-".

Something for Chinese translator from the future

 * Be faithful.
 * Replace  with   if you want to save couple of seconds;
 * If available, use existed, commonly agreed translation;
 * That said, if you wanna translate something about a mod, look up on Github/BitBucket/etc. or just unzip the jar file, to see if there is a file named.
 * Be patient.
 * Use some kind of guideline.
 * What's next?
