💡 **Warm Tips**:

• Please don’t post it purely as a machine translation.
• Don’t use this tool to plagiarize other people’s translations
• For all translators, try to contact the original author to obtain authorization before translating. It is respectful and it is also convenient for others to know that someone is translating.
