+Your task is translate `README.md` into several languages. The translation should sound natural and easy to read.
+Target languages: Chinese (zh-cn), Chinese (zh-tw), Japanese (ja-JP)
+Use the following format for each translation: `README.{language_code}-{country_code}.md`
+Rules:
+- If a translation file already exists, only update the changes
+- If a translation file does not exist, create a new one and add the link in `README.md` and each translated readme file
+- Do not modify the original `README.md` file
+- git commit to current branch and push to remote
