📈 Summary of the Translation Progress

Our journey of translating the wonderful book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs or better known as SICP.js into Portuguese is underway, and we've got some exciting news to share! As of today, we are at a certain percentage of completion, and we're thrilled with the progress we've made. It's a collaborative effort, and the enthusiasm from everyone involved is truly inspiring. Together, we're not just translating words; we're bringing a wealth of knowledge and insights to a new audience. Let's break down the current status, and see the details of the translation, and the steps to achieve the goal.

• Estimated Progress: 6% We are happy to announce that we are at 6% of the translation, which means we are on the right track! It is the result of the dedication of the translation team. This percentage reflects the proportion of the book that has been successfully translated, reviewed, and approved. It's a great milestone, and we are working hard to increase it daily.
• Translated Files: 12 files Currently, we have translated 12 files which represent the core chapters of the book. These files have been carefully translated and reviewed to ensure accuracy and clarity. Each file represents a section of the book, and we're gradually covering the entire content.
• Total Words: 10203 words The team has worked hard to ensure that more than ten thousand words have been translated so far. This huge number of words reflects the scale of the project, but we are committed to complete this project as soon as possible, step by step, word by word.

📚 Chapter-by-Chapter Breakdown

To make things easier to follow, let's break down the translation progress chapter by chapter. This detailed view gives you a clear picture of where we stand in each section of the book. We want to be transparent about what has been done and what's left, and to provide our community with the details needed to review, contribute and accelerate the process of translation. We're committed to making this resource accessible to everyone, and with the details, you can see the progress of the work.

As you can see, we've made good progress with the preface and Chapter 1. The preface, which provides the introduction of the book and the concepts, has been fully translated, which is a great start. Chapter 1, which introduces some core concepts of computer science has been translated too, and we will focus on translating the next chapters. Keep in mind that the translation of chapters is a big job, as it needs to be accurate and consistent, but we are confident that the team is doing a great job.

📊 Progress Bar

To give you a clear visual representation of our progress, we've included a progress bar below. This bar will be updated regularly, so you can easily see our progress. We're dedicated to transparency, and this visual aid will help you track how close we are to our goal. We want to share our progress so you can keep track of what has been done. Each bar represents a certain percentage of completion. We are confident that you will like the design and the idea of this progress bar.
