John,
What do you think is the right place to put localized man pages?
/usr/share/man/man?/${LANG}
/usr/share/man/${LANG}/man?
/usr/share/${LANG}/man/man?
/usr/${LANG}/share/man/man?
My guess would be the second, since that way you can just stick in the
value of ${LANG} between the manpath component and the section
subdirectories. The first is too fragmented, and the last two will
require slicing something inside a manpath component.
Also, how hard do you think it will be to add support for this to man?
There are actually a few X ports that install manuals in
/usr/X11R6/man/ja_JP.EUC/man?, it will be great if the Japanese people
actually get to read it.
(Of course there is an issue of groff not groking 2-byte charsets, but
we'll get to that later.)
