Will do.

As mentioned in the cover letter:

, I'll wait until the zh_TW translations are merged (hopefully in v6)
and update this patch set so that it can cover all of zh_CN, zh_TW,
ko_KR, and ja_JP translations.

My expectation was to collect a few "Tested-by:" and "Reviewed-by"
tags, but failed so far.

Especially, I think 6/7 and 7/7 need explicit acks.
In the cover-letter, I said:

Also, I'm thinking of splitting 2/7 into smaller chunks.
It (1) introduces LaTeX macros for each CJK language, (2) changes CJKmainfont
to Serif, (3) adds translations specific conf.py to localize monospace
font choice for Latin letters, and (4) restores inter-phrase spaces in
Korean translations.
