As already mentioned in the list, manpages are maybe not the part of software with the most visibility, and which are the most useful for users. If you really intend to translate manpages, there are already some packages with a PO-based infrastructure: * dpkg, aptitude * manpages, manpages-dev You can have a look at the manpages-fr Debian package, which provides a PO-based infrastructure. This is a really HUGE task. Some pages are quite useful for users (the man section 5 for example, some are only useful for developers). Translators for these manpages will learn a lot (translation of all the system calls, and standard library calls) * Other common tools You can have a look at the manpages-fr-extra Debian package, which provides a PO-based infrastructure. It contains translation for the manpages of packages: at, bash, coreutils, cron, diffutils, dosfstools, e2fsprogs, findutils, glibc, grep, lilo, most, nfs-utils, openssl, procps, sysvinit, tar, util-linux * cups It is probably not very useful to translate all the manpages, but some of them can be very interested for users. * Some developer tools: debianutils, devscripts come to my mind. * po4a, po-debconf Those are maybe not very useful. They are developer tools. * shadow Some manpages may be worth being translated (e.g. passwd) With those packages with an existing PO-based infrastructure, the main task to provide a new translation is to provide an new PO file. (If an existing translation exist in a non-PO format, I can help converting it to PO) Please let us know which manpages (or which kind of manpages you would like to translate).
