FAQ — openclaw chinese fork
Is this fork always in sync with openclaw/openclaw?
It's kept close to upstream with regular rebases, but there may be a lag of days to weeks behind the latest release.
Can I use CN platform plugins from the main ecosystem with this fork?
Yes. The fork is API-compatible with the main OpenClaw plugin ecosystem.
Is documentation only in Chinese?
Primary docs are in Chinese, but the codebase has English inline comments.
CN developers using upstream OpenClaw spend the first hour on configuration that openclaw-cn ships pre-solved.
Every Mandarin-speaking developer hitting English docs first is an unnecessary friction point.
