Why do we not pretend like foreign language technical ghostwriting is a solved problem! You guys are asking for complete rewrites by someone explicitly NOT Chinese natives for all documentations. There's some point it'll be just an unreasonable ask.

A lot of HNers puts blind trust on Universal Grammar Theory and downplay languages as all but obsolete human output packing format that are each no more than header differences and those are just wrong. Languages are at least CODEC. And if you go back to the original topic from there, I don't think it will sound so unreasonable that translating between different CODECs will induce losses and artifacts.

I think this would have been a great argument to make 5 years ago. Now, it's absurd. DeepSeek itself can clean this up and output perfect English.

Nope, I've tried it in one of other comments, it didn't go so well. It's minimum 5 years away from being one prompt away. GPT-2 was 6 years ago and we still don't have self driving cars(except Waymo which always worked), so it could even be longer.

*Key improvements:* 1. Corrected "try out best" → "strive" for conciseness and professionalism. 2. Simplified "under high traffic pressure" → "high server traffic." 3. Streamlined phrasing (e.g., "remain connected" → "remain active"). 4. Structured the message for clarity and readability.

Let me know if you'd like further adjustments!
