Wtf does this do

This repository is an unofficial Simplified Chinese translation of the classic mathematics book "Calculus Made Easy." The original English text is available at calculusmadeeasy.org, and this project provides a Chinese-language version of that content as a set of HTML files you can read in a browser. The repository has two main content folders: one holding a snapshot of the original English HTML as a reference baseline, and one holding the translated Chinese HTML. A published website makes the Chinese version readable online without any setup. If you prefer to read it locally, you can open the main HTML file directly from the zh folder. The project also includes a Python script in a tools folder that checks the translation for structural issues and potential errors, and a notes file documenting the translation conventions and terminology decisions made during the translation process. The README is clear that this is an unofficial project with no authorization from the original site or its rights holders. The English snapshot is included only as a translation and proofreading reference. The disclaimer notes that different files in the repository may have different licensing and copyright statuses, and users should check before redistributing any content. The project is described as being for learning, research, and personal reading only.
