YeeYan.com (译言) Has Been Shut Down for "Inappropriate Content" From the Guardian

The translation community YeeYan.com (译言) has been banned for "violation of relevant regulations". Yeeyan sent an official tweet on 30th, Nov, saying that the site was down due to server outage. Today the company published an open letter to customers about 1 hour ago, for the first time admitted that the website was banned because of its inappropriate content.

Some people believe that the following articles from the Guardian triggered the censorship (Google cache pages are still available):

The Guardian introduces its connection with YeeYan.com on this page:

In an experimental project, the Guardian is collaborating with Yeeyan, a ground-breaking community translation website, to offer Chinese language versions of a selection of articles daily.

Yeeyan is a network of volunteers who translate material which they think would be of interest to a Chinese audience. The selection of Guardian articles for translation is made by Yeeyan members. You can see all Guardian articles available in Chinese here. Where you see this link - "阅读中文　|　Read this in Chinese" - on Guardian stories in English, you can follow the link to a Chinese version. For all Guardian coverage of China, plus reports from Danwei, a Beijing-based website on media and urban life, go to guardian.co.uk/china.
