“yeeyan“ is a community website dedicated to translating excellent content on the internet from foreign languages (mainly English) into Chinese. (en.yeeyan.com is its English site that translates Chinese content into English.) It started as a translation blog by three founders and soon evolved into an open web2.0 platform to allow other contributors to join in. The site was launched on December 10, 2006. Since then, both the content library and the community have grown at a tremendous pace and in an organic way. As of today, nearly 800 users have contributed about 4,000 translated articles. The project has logged more than three million readers.
The community initially attracted relatively young and innovative people, such as college students and young entrepreneurs, and gradually expanded to include people from different age groups, fields and interests. So did the content library: its categories started from IT and startup and now include finance and investment, health care and life style, social sciences and operations management, poems and novels, and so on.
