translator credits about ml4a.github.io

Hi!
I like both ways. And for me a list of all translators name/link in preface/data file is good enough. A note at the top would be great if it's not disturbing, cause letting people focus on the content is the first concern. : )

[rickiepark]

Great idea! I think your option is good enough. :)

[irealva]

Your option sounds good too. The benefit of that is that if anyone wants to propose a change to the translation they'd know who to contact directly. So maybe it's a link to our github account? I am planning to make a work email public on github.

@rickiepark, @irealva I'm not sure I understand whether you are referring to
a. having them on each individual translated page
b. having a general page listing contributions

I think a. would be more feasible because it is simpler to maintain in the short term.

I think the ideal solution would be having contributor names in the frontmatter (maybe with a link to a website?) and using that to add the name automatically to the layout and generating a page with it. From my knowledge, this would not be trivial with jekyll, but I didn't look into it yet.

I would personally appreciate having a link to especially everybody making the guides, book, demos etc. to bounce over and check out their other work easily.

@TiborUdvari i think good idea on making it into the data files if we repeat the names in multiple places. it probably makes more sense to put it into the _data rather than frontmatter which is more about the page configuration i think. i am thinking for now it makes sense to have each chapter have a note at the top about who translated, and a link to wherever translator wants (github or personal website perhaps). how about that?

hi all -- ok i've made a basic thing that gives credit which involves simply putting your name and a hyperlink (to whatever you like) that goes in the header. i've made examples for the chinese and spanish versions of neural networks.

https://ml4a.github.io/ml4a/cn/neural_networks/
https://ml4a.github.io/ml4a/es/neural_networks/

it just comes from the metadata translator and translator_link at the top -- see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ml4a/ml4a.github.io/master/_chapters_es/neural_networks.md for example.

Tong and Irene, feel free to change the way i made it for yours (however you want it to be listed).

does this work for everyone? if so, please go into your chapters and add that info. in a bit, i will also add links to the translations from the main chapter list, and cross-links inside each chapter.

Great, thanks @genekogan :)
