PG Internal
In Cases
A single-language Chinese book site that runs the Book shell on its own, with no documentation tree beside it.
pgint.vonng.com publishes PG 技术内幕, the 2018 Chinese translation of Hironobu Suzuki’s The Internals of PostgreSQL. The site carries two prefaces, eleven chapters, a generated table of contents, and a licensing page — all in Simplified Chinese, with no English peer.
What it demonstrates
- A deliberately monolingual OINK site: one language tree, and a language switcher that stays out of the way because there is nothing to switch to.
- The Book shell carrying a finished translation rather than a living manual — chapter navigation, whole-book print output, and a landing page in one site.
- A landing page that credits an upstream author alongside the translators, and links outward to the continuously updated English original.
Use this pattern for a completed translation or a stable published text: the content will not grow, so the site’s job is orientation, reading comfort, and honest attribution rather than change management.
