Bilingual starter library

Open Longevity keeps one logical knowledge library rather than two independent copies.

File pairing

  • The canonical Chinese starter article remains name.md.
  • Its maintained English companion is name.en.md.
  • Both files keep the same logical id.
  • English companions include:
locale: en
translation_of: path/to/name.md

The application selects name.en.md when the interface language is English. If the companion is missing, it falls back to name.md instead of hiding the article.

User-authored notes

User-created Markdown is not duplicated automatically. A note without a companion remains available in its original language under either interface language. This avoids machine translation silently changing personal records.

Translation rules

  • Preserve URLs, citations, identifiers, tables, numbers, units, evidence grades, and safety boundaries.
  • Do not strengthen causal language or add claims absent from the source.
  • Keep product names, study names, and scientific terminology traceable to the original.
  • Update both members of a maintained pair when starter content changes.

Retrieval

AI retrieval prefers the companion matching the current interface language. User-authored notes and selected page context remain eligible regardless of language.
