The entire KVM subsystem documentation is currently lacking a Chinese translation, not just for LoongArch. A better approach would be to merge this English document first. In fact, I'm in the process of preparing Chinese translations for the KVM subsystem documentation, and they're on their way. > > Thanks, > Yanteng > Thanks,

Nice！ To be honest, I've tried to translate kvm's API documentation more than once in the past, but all of them have been halfway because it's too long, and I'm guessing that the review process won't be too smooth either. BTW, I've noticed that v2 is still a work in progress, so please reduce the frequency of sending emails until the v2 and v3 reviews are over. Thanks, Yanteng
