A real-world need for a _REGION-coded manual page may come up in any port at any time and is hard to predict. That said, the following currently exist: sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_AU/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_AU/man1/deja-dup.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_CA/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_CA/man1/deja-dup.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/deja-dup.1 comms/wammu/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/wammu-configure.1 comms/wammu/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/wammu.1 games/wesnoth/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man6/wesnoth.6 games/wesnoth/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man6/wesnothd.6 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/fr_CA/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1 sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/fr_CA/man1/deja-dup.1 I think those are silly and should simply be deleted. I mean, come on, British translations of American manuals? Or Quebequois ones of French manuals? That does not make any sense, really. Then there are a number of /pt_BR/ in addition to /pt/. That looks suspicious, but i don't speak Portuguese, so it may or may not make sense, i don't really know. That's it, at this time, as far as i'm aware.

The hanterm(1) port that i fixed a few days ago is such a case. The documentation is exclusively provided in Korean. Yours, Ingo
