I started the translation of perfbook since October 2015.  The
translation was done by June 2017, and I continued wordsmithing, merging
the upstream changes, and further translating.  Following the upstream's
fast speed of the change and keeping the translation consistent was
quite challenging.

In Mar 2021, I therefore decided to stop updating existing translation
and start the translation of the 2nd edition from the scratch.  Applying
upstream changes were minimized to only simple fixes, usually what I
fixed on my local repo first and sent patches upstream.

After about three years, I just completed the Korean translation of the
2nd edition.  Hence updating the Korean translation progress on FAQ.

It was a very fun and informative journey.  Huge appreciate to Paul and
the community for making the great book and letting me get the fun.

I have no plan for the future.  I don't know if I will continue merging
upstream changes and further translating it, or if I will restart the
translation after the third edition is released.  I sometimes feel
translation is already an area that AI can do better than me.  But I
sure I would repeatedly read this book again and again, and some day, I
might try to translate it again.  But at the moment, I'd like to take a
time to congrats myself :)
