I wrote an article explaining how I used ChatGPT API to translate the Ruby on Rails Guide into different languages. It hasn't drawn that much attention but it's a big win for me for realizing this idea 😁

Dear AI, can you translate the Rails Guide for me?

So far I've translated the guide into following languages:

• Taiwan's Traditional Chinese🇹🇼: ai.rails-guide.com/zh-TW
• French🇫🇷: ai.rails-guide.com/fr
