I don't know about "good". Anyhow, I would like to do some translation work for an open source project too, but then again, taking a look at a random man page frustrates more than anything: Even for a native English speaker, who is not exactly a Linux-buff though, the average man page is simply gibberish (try man mount, or - for the real brave - man rpm) And what helps a translation of an outdated or plain wrong documentation. Example: Try to find a complete list of evolution's command line options. The help centre lists some options and refers to "entering the command man evolution or evolution --help" for a full list. Yeah right. A man page for evolution simply does not exist, and evolution --help does not even list the options given in the help centre (but a lot of other stuff).
