Description

Instead of "herunterfahren" (shut down) maybe say ausschalten ("turn off"). This might make it clearer what the function does, i.e. cutting the "power" instead of shutting down Windows ("herunterfahren").

Also, rethink whether "PC" is suitable - alternatives might be machine or guest. While an IA32 Windows guest might be one of the most common scenarios, Q/QEMU allow to emulate servers and embedded systems as well. And of course Macs!

If PC remains then in German it should be "Gast-PC" instead of "Gast PC" (which is English grammar).

"Ausschalten" may be the better way to express that. "Guest PC" ist the common notation on qemu's mailing list, that's why it was adopted to Q. "Guest" is to little to express the whole system which is to be meant.

Many terms are used, for example Virtual Machine (VM), but the easiest way to describe it to common users is imho "Guest PC". I think this needs a further discussion.
