Thanks for the PR. Please check the comments below.

I can be wrong about this, but the term Kubernetes "worker" machines sounds like it only applies to the "worker-role" nodes, which is not true. Is there a better term describing it?

@starbops Thank you for reviewing. The definitions for guest cluster and guest node were based on details provided by @m-ildefons and @tserong in PR #539 . PTAL at their comments.

| Kubernetes worker VM that uses guest cluster resources to run container workloads. | ||
| Kubernetes worker virtual machine that uses guest cluster resources to run container workloads. |

I kinda get confused by this statement. I suppose this sentence tries to convey that "those virtual machines, as guest nodes, use/occupy the underlying Harvester cluster resources to run container workloads on the guest cluster".

| ## **Harvester Cloud Provider** | ||
|
|
||
| Component that enables a Rancher-managed Harvester cluster to function as a [native cloud backend for guest Kubernetes clusters](../rancher/cloud-provider.md). The Harvester Cloud Provider integrates the Kubernetes cloud controller manager (CCM) and container storage interface (CSI) driver, allowing guest clusters to dynamically request and manage Harvester-native resources (load balancer and storage) without manual intervention. |

To my knowledge, the Harvester Cloud Provider and the Harvester CSI Driver are two separate components; the latter should be elaborated on in the next section.

||
| ## **Harvester CSI Driver** | ||
|
|
||
| Driver that provides a standard container storage interface (CSI) for guest Kubernetes clusters running on top of Harvester virtual machines. This component [connects guest clusters to the underlying Harvester cluster](../rancher/csi-driver.md) and enables hotplugging of volumes to the virtual machines to provide native storage performance. |

The paragraph itself is correct. However, I would also suggest emphasizing the container viewpoint, as that is what users care about more.
The Harvester CSI Driver enables container workloads running on guest clusters to use volumes backed by the underlying Harvester cluster storage, thereby providing much better performance.

@ihcsim Please review the term definitions. Thank you. |

The Localization team is planning to translate the SUSE Virtualization doc, so I was asked to provide definitions for an initial set of terms. Due to task scheduling constraints, I decided to split the terms into two sets.
Set 1 (covered in this PR):
Set 2:
