I can look at this in the weekend. This would need the po4a
infrastructure to be integrated in your build system as well, so that
man page translations remain maintainable and current.
Also it would be great if you could provide me with the contact
details of your current translation teams (or I can pull them from
the po file headers), so that they become aware of this new task and
how to handle the translations. I wouuld also inform the active
translators from manpages-l10n, as they might have this man page
currently under translation.
(I will look at this at the weekend, I currently lack the time to look
at this in more detail, I just reply to e-mails).

All current translations (German, Danish, Romanian, Arabic) have a
translator name and copyright attached. How these persons created the
translations, I do not know (except for German, where I did the
translation old school by hand).
