Can't run the lit.dev project.

There are lots of users of lit from China, so I forked the repository and want to translate docs to a Chinese version. But I failed in the first step because I can't run this project.

After I run npm ci and npm run dev, the following error will be throwed in the terminal:

I think maybe the readme of this project a little old. Could you please update the readme?

That's odd. npm run dev from the root directory does work for me. Assuming npm ci was done already, what version of npm are you on? The only reason I can think of for this error is that it's not recognizing the --workspace flag which was added in some version of npm v7. I'm on npm v9 and I think some members of our team are using v10.

There's been a community member who also wanted to do a Chinese translation here too: #817
Unfortunately we haven't been able to move forward on a sustainable approach to adding localization for the site #355

Thank you for your answer, my npm version is v6. It can work now after I upgraded my npm version.

I didn't notice that someone had already translated this part of the information into Chinese before, and now I think this can help me save a lot of work. I think a good way to keep Chinese and English documents synchronized is for me to translate them separately on the branch I cloned. When there is a new commit in the main branch of lit.dev, I just need to compare the diff and update the corresponding content on my branch.

Thank you again for your help!
