Pull request overview
Adds the Malayalam machine translation of the python_by_example lecture for native-speaker calibration review (Phase 2 of QuantEcon/action-translation#189), landing the translated content directly into the site.
Changes:
- Introduces a new
lectures/python_by_example.mdMyST/Jupytext lecture file containing the Malayalam translation. - Includes translation metadata (
translation:block) for title/headings mapping.
Suppressed comments (3)
lectures/python_by_example.md:357
- "etc.-ന്" mixes English filler with Malayalam case-suffix; replacing with a Malayalam equivalent avoids the awkward hyphenation and reads more naturally.

A note on the automated comments above — they are not from our translation tool, and none of them needs your attention. GitHub Copilot reviews every pull request in this organisation automatically. It is a general-purpose code reviewer with no knowledge of this edition's translation policy, so on a Malayalam lecture it mostly argues against the policy — repeatedly suggesting that technical terms kept in English should be rendered in Malayalam. That is exactly the over-translation this edition is designed to avoid, and in one case it proposed replacing We have checked every one of its comments against the English source and replied to each on its own thread, then marked them resolved so they collapse out of your view. The breakdown for this lecture:
None of its comments identified a translation defect. What we are asking you for is unchanged: comment on any line you would change — English that should be Malayalam, Malayalam that should be English, a wrong case-suffix, awkward phrasing, or the same term handled differently in two places. Yours is the review that counts here; please disregard the collapsed automated threads entirely. |

Suggested change for opening line — current translation is accurate but reads too literally for a section opener.

As the first line of the section, I used my discretion to make it more natural — closer to how a Malayalam teacher would address students.

Suggested change — current translation is grammatically correct but reads too formally. I have made it more like a teacher speaking to students in a classroom setup.

I vote to keep this Hint section in English itself.
The content is primarily mathematical — bivariate uniform distributions, probability, convergence, area of a circle. These concepts are studied in English in Kerala's education system. A reader who understands them already knows the terminology in English. A reader who does not understand them needs to study the prerequisite mathematics first — a Malayalam translation does not help in either case.
Suggested rule: Hint and Solution sections that are predominantly mathematical reasoning, rather than Python instruction, should be kept in English

Again, I recommend keeping this part of the solution section in English itself.
The content is primarily mathematical. Anybody who understands it must have already learnt this in English itself, and one who does not understand this need to learn the prerequisite maths. so a Malayalam translation does not help in either case.

Applies all 100 inline review comments from the calibration review on #1 (2026-08-07 through 2026-08-15). Each 'Preferred:' rendering is applied verbatim, with minimal typographic normalisation: code spans and cross-reference links restored where the plain-text comments dropped them (ϵ_values, ts_length, for, f'foo{var}', the {doc} NumPy link, the subpackage bold), straight quotes and single spaces, and one suspected slip normalised (flag on line 381: ആയ -> ആയി) — listed for the reviewer's verification in the PR comment. Retain-in-English flags (comments on lines 106, 471, 489, 570, 583, 639, and the ex5 hint and solution sections) take the English text byte-exact from the source lecture at lecture-python-programming@81d9734.

Thank you @adisankarmt — this is exactly the review round the calibration phase was waiting for. All 100 of your comments are now applied to this PR in commit 6ee7130, each "Preferred:" rendering taken verbatim. A few notes on how they were applied:
Three small things I'd ask you to double-check in the updated preview once it rebuilds:
Since your role on this repository is now write access, you can push corrections directly to this branch — and in future review rounds you can use GitHub's suggestion blocks in review comments, which lets us apply your fix with one click and credits you as the commit author automatically. Your flags now feed the next glossary and rule update for the translation tool (the below-deixis pattern, ആദ്യത്തെ, the discourse connectives, and your proposed rule for mathematical Hint/Solution sections are all being encoded), tracked in QuantEcon/action-translation#189. The reviews of the other four lectures (PRs #2–#5) can proceed whenever suits you — no deadline. |

@adisankarmt — a quick status and what would help next, now that your entire round-1 review has been folded into the translation tool: What your 100 comments changed. Every flag was encoded as a glossary entry or a rule (or logged accepted-as-is) and shipped in QuantEcon/action-translation#272. We then regenerated this lecture from scratch with the updated tool as a check: the fresh output now uses Two things when you have a moment:
No deadline on any of this — the pace is yours. |

Thanks @adisankarmt — all three confirmed, nothing further to change here. On (2): agreed, the "ഇത്" lead-in is not encoded as a rule — the round-1 update to the tool (QuantEcon/action-translation#272) took the below-deixis pattern, the connectives and the calques, but left this one open. Whatever you conclude across the next lectures will set it. On the font: good catch, and the right diagnosis. The theme's fonts (Source Sans Pro / PT Serif) have no Malayalam glyphs, so the Malayalam was being drawn by your operating system's fallback font, which sits larger than the Latin. #9 adds Noto Sans Malayalam for body text and Noto Serif Malayalam for headings, applied to the Malayalam characters only, so the English and code are unchanged. Once its preview build posts, could you compare it with the current site and say whether the size now looks balanced? If it is still off, the Malayalam alone can be scaled a few percent either way without touching anything else. Enjoy #7 — keen to hear how the regenerated output reads. |
* Add Noto Sans/Serif Malayalam web fonts scoped to the Malayalam block The theme loads Source Sans Pro and PT Serif, neither of which covers Malayalam, so Malayalam runs fell back to the reader's OS font and sat visibly larger than the Latin text (reviewer feedback on #1). This adds self-hosted Google Fonts malayalam subsets of Noto Sans Malayalam (body) and Noto Serif Malayalam (headings), declared with unicode-range so only Malayalam glyphs change; Latin, digits and code keep the theme's fonts.

Merging this PR lands the translation including any fixes committed during review, so review comments here improve the real site directly.For the reviewer: please comment on any line you would change — English that should be Malayalam, Malayalam that should be English, a wrong case-suffix, awkward phrasing, or the same term handled differently in two places. Headings, code cells and transliteration are already machine-verified (all headings byte-identical, code untouched, zero transliterations) — no need to proofread those.
