A Reddit bot to translate fully/partially Chinese comments to English (not running, banned in /r/china) Screenshot

How does it work?

We use snoostorm and snoowrap to read every comment posted in /r/china. We check every word in every comment using franc to determine if its language is Mandarin Chinese. If the lanaguage is Mandarin Chinese, we use baidu-translate-api to poorly translate the Chinese to English. We also use pinyin to generate pinyin for each translation. Although the bot isn't running any longer, you can still check its user profile to view some of its translations.
