English Translation of This Website

I made some contents of this site available in English. The only one reason to do so is the software used to manage this website (Hugo) support multilingual website. Although I will do some translation to be familiar with translation, technical articles are not the object. There are some reasons for the exclusion.

The first reason is my translation lacks speed. In my opinion, the value of technical article heavily depends on how early it was published. Even if I could present an article earliest, machine translation would have given the information. The second reason is lack of accuracy. I am not good at writing English. So, I do a free translation with losing accuracy of contents. That harms availability of information. The last reason is I want English information to be more useful than Japanese one. I often search in English to find more result when I could not find anything in Japanese. While I setup this server, I found an articles written in English which was translated from Japanese. When I search in English, I would have read major Japanese articles. I was frustrated to see the website. I do not want to do that.
