What I really want to know:
"Once your code has passed the code-review and merged, it will be run on thousands of servers"
And the Chinese text below says tens of thousands of servers, which is it? :-)
- muddyrivers 10y agoConsidering Baidu's scale, it would be tens of thousands. There are several other discrepancies in the doc between the Chinese version and the English one. Some technical proofreading is needed.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 10y agoIn this case, I think it's fine. Chinese has a named number for 10000 (wàn/万), so they used that. Since English doesn't, they used 'thousands'. In either case, the idea is that the code would run on a large number of servers. For instance, Hindi has special names for 100000 (lakh), 10M (crore/karod) etc. so a similar translation to Hindi would use those even if it meant introducing a factor of 10 in the literal interpretation.
