Use issues-translator instead The reason is that guessing the language the user is using is hard to do in an issue, First, many languages have the same parts, and second, issues contain a lot of formatting, comments and code
Issues markdown contains multiple languages and code, and we can only guess which one it is, but that's pretty inaccurate, so we will only check if it contains Chinese.
The action for translating Chinese issues content to English.
