<p>From a legal point of view, it's untenable. Somebody relies on
the English language translation. They get sued because the
Chinese language version says something different. They reply "But
you said that they're the same". YATeam replies that the Chinese
language version is the real license and overrides anything the
English language version says.</p>
<p>No. The proper way is "I cut the cake, you pick the piece." Or in
context, YATeam allows the defendant to choose whichever language
version they want. YATeam then has all the incentive needed to
make the licenses have the same effect, and if they haven't, the
defendant can choose the version most beneficial to their case. If
YATeam doesn't like that, well, they should have worked harder.</p>
<p>We went through this with a European Union license, where they
wanted the license to have effect in different languages.<br>
