Package: groff-base
Version: 1.18.1.1-7
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

There was recently some work to get a manpage translated into vietnamese
(find.1), so that we can see what are the necessary steps to achieve this
task. The result is that the translation chain (mostly, gettext and po4a) is
working, but the existing groff cannot deal properly with the produced
manpage.

Bruno Haible thus hacked a utf8-ready groff, and I would like to see it
integrated, if possible. The relevant code can be fetched from:
http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-groff-utf8.html

If you have any question, I'd be glad to help if I can.

Thanks for your time,
Mt.

PS: yeah, this machine is ubuntu instead of kosher debian, but I'm sure this
does not make any difference for that issue...
