Please read CONTRIBUTING.md, especially regarding the scope of your commits: Don't change anything outside of po/el, unless the scripts change it (for example, updating the templates). But proposals to improve the infrastructure are welcome anyway. Best Regards, Mario

The Greek translations in manpages-l10n are a kind of »dry« import: Don't be surprised, the files don't have a real previous translator. Because some projects like GNU Coreutils and Diffutils use Help2man to generate the English man pages, I was able to reuse the UI translations for the man page localization. The intro.* man pages have been created automatically, only for the purpose to have all man page sections present. Moreover, we use an addendum for each man page, which is generated using the script po/el/generate-addendum.sh and the contents of license.add. Both is translated using Google Translate; I'm quite sure the text needs to be tweaked ;) Best Regards, Mario
