Hello! Thank for the update on the "FreeBSD Chinese Community". We certainly appreciate any efforts to promote FreeBSD in China. There are official Chinese translations of the main page, the Handbook, and other documentation, however I am not able to gauge the quality. https://www.freebsd.org/zh-cn/ https://docs.freebsd.org/zh-cn/books/handbook/ We welcome translation updates. For anyone able and interested in contributing to documentation translation, here is a resource: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Doc/Translation/Weblate Are you saying that all these page are inaccessible from mainland China? Apologies if past queries were missed about hosing a FreeBSD mirror site at University of Science and Technology. We certainly care and if that would improve the situation for Chinese users it's very welcome. How can we help with that? Joe
