Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day a non-English speaker could learn
about and use NetBSD in his native language?  

Since you ask, I'll suggest you start at www.netbsd.org.  I would think
the best way to make NetBSD accessible to people is to offer those pages
in Chinese.  

The NetBSD Guide has been translated into Chinese.  You may be aware that
the Guide is being updated right now; I don't know how up to date the
Chinese version is.  

I suppose it's obvious, but special attention needs to be devoted to
encodings and fonts.  The FreeBSD guide goes to some lengths to explain
how to set those up.
