 New Comment:

I have updated the error page in this case to be more clear that the page (from 
an inactive manual translation) has gone away deliberately and added links to 
alternative pages (i.e. other languages).

Thanks for your bug report and suggestions.

Just to provide some more details for context.  The builds of the Bulgarian 
translation of the manual have not been done since 2010 [1].  Similarly, 
several other unmaintained translations are not built [2].  This is because the 
sources for those translations are not being kept up to date [3].

Due to the way the PHP manual is distributed to the php.net website mirror 
servers, the old versions of those translations were mistakenly still being 
published; mostly with the English language version of the pages where any 
translation did not occur.  This resulted in the "translated" versions of the 
manual containing mostly English with some vastly out of date translated pages. 
 

Recently, the pushing of those inactive, out-of-date translations to the 
website mirrors was stopped.  This results in the 404 Not Found reported in 
this bug report.  The expectation is that Google will stop serving those pages 
in search results eventually; hopefully sooner rather than later.

sinus+php at sinpi dot net's suggestion is great, and should be done as a good 
way of directing visitors hitting those pages to their English counterparts.

It would probably be beneficial if localized manual pages were getting 
redirected to /en/ in case of a missing page.

The same happens to pages in the /pl/ section, so it would seem there's 
something wrong with localized manual pages in general.
