[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

In the process of translating many documents from Charles, Cardano Foundation, Emurgo, I realized a problem: Even if AI is very good, it will never replace humans.

Our translation algorithm has been greatly upgraded after many rounds of testing, however, the final step is still the user's sophistication in adjusting the sentence to suit the context.

Below is a brief comparison table of 2 translations: one edited by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and one edited by humans.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Chat GPT, Bing, AI can completely replace humans. Especially for specific markets, academia, and users like Blockchain, complex things must be more standardized, easier to understand, and more accessible.

1. The problem that motivates us to implement this proposal: In Vietnam, resources about Cardano Blockchain are mainly available on the websites and YouTube channels of Charles Hoskinson, Cardano Foudation, Emurgo. Documents are 100% in English, too academic. Not systematic yet.
2. Target users: Members of the Cardano Vietnam community, Cardano SPOs, Large Admins in Vietnam, and other ecosystem communities who want to learn about the Cardano ecosystem. Developers. Pupils and students of information technology schools.
3. We demonstrate impact through indicators: Visits, views, likes, downloads and comment interactions of members on the Telegram group. We'll host a book launch livestream: measure livestream engagement. Introducing and attracting more people to participate in the unique ecosystem that is the Catalyst project. (we will present details later).
4. Our team's capabilities are completely suitable:

• This proposed topic comes from the Fimi team, Cardano.vn. In charge of the work is a translator and content creator who has translated many videos about Cardano Blockchain. Fimi is a team established in 2018, gathering many excellent factors, good technicians, passionate about the Cardano ecosystem and has the largest Cardano community in Vietnam at the present time.

• Youtube channel has nearly 20 thousand followers. Made 218 highly academic translation videos of Cardano. Translating the Cardano Summit 2023 video series. Contributing to building the website: Cardano.vn, 241 videos about Blockchain, video series about Midnight. And many other translation video series.
• The goal of the book "Cardano for the Masses" is to give readers an overview of the Cardano ecosystem in the most understandable way. This is a project with a simple implementation method and low cost.

5. Unique and special points:

• I did my research before quickly comparing and scoring the “accessibility” of a few blockchain books on Amazon. The resulting “Cardano For The Masses” is highly appreciated for its simplicity and intimacy. Only author John Greene came to the IOG group with the desire to improve the content of this book. He is going through the Peer Review process for his book.
• So: Author John Greene, after writing this book, with hard work and effort, he joined the teaching team of Cardano Foundation.
• The book received many high reviews from Charles Hoskinson, Tim Harrision, Input Out Put:

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

These measures are built on our actual capabilities. Youtube pages and websites will bring visits, likes, and comments. Telegram groups will also be a place to increase visits, downloads and direct feedback about the book. Livestream is where the community can receive general introductions about the book, the purpose of translation and the value of the team implementing this proposal.

This method of donating hardcover publications to reputable managers in Vietnam will help us promote this book to more readers. All facilities available. Therefore, these measures are completely practical to carry out the proposed tasks.

Short-term benefits: The success of the project will contribute to providing society with a useful, friendly document, bringing Cardano closer to the community. As for the Cardano blockchain, this is a communication product. Give users more reasons to interact with the Cardano blockchain.

Long term: The ecosystem is expanding and more and more people benefit from using the Cardano ecosystem. So many career opportunities are opening up, right here, right now at Catalyst. There are multiple starting points for each level of understanding.

"In the 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index report conducted by the American blockchain market analysis company Chainalysis, Vietnam ranked 3rd."

We are in the digital age. As the 3rd country accepting cryptocurrencies worldwide - Vietnam really needs Cardano and vice versa, to expand the Cardano ecosystem also needs a country with a top 3 index like Vietnam.

For the overall development of the entire ecosystem, your support is of great significance to us as well as the overall development of our community.

Therefore, the success of the project will have a positive impact on the Cardano ecosystem in Vietnam. A good product will gradually be proven, will attract a large community, and improve the quality of the community. Form a standard format for public outreach that other Blockchains can apply.
