Description

This pull request introduces a comprehensive Simplified Chinese translation of the documentation (README.zh.md) for Whisper, providing native documentation access for the Chinese-speaking AI, speech recognition, and machine learning developer communities.

Key Changes

  • Added README.zh.md matching upstream documentation 1:1:
    • Architecture and sequence-to-sequence multitask approach (speech recognition, speech translation, language identification, and voice activity detection)
    • Setup and installation instructions (PyPI openai-whisper, Git install, ffmpeg system package across Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/macOS/Windows, and Rust/setuptools-rust notes)
    • Comprehensive model catalog table (tiny, base, small, medium, large, and turbo), parameters, VRAM requirements, and relative speeds
    • Performance notes and WER / CER breakdown explanation across languages
    • Command-line usage examples (whisper CLI, --model, --language, and --task translate guidelines)
    • Python usage examples (high-level transcribe() and lower-level detect_language() and decode())
    • Community links and MIT license information
  • Added bidirectional language switchers (English · 简体中文) in both README.md and README.zh.md (using PyPI-safe absolute links in README.md).
  • Added volunteer maintenance note committing to long-term synchronization with upstream documentation updates.

No Python source code, model weights, dependencies, or packaging files were altered.
