hi,

Sure. I have had a lot about two years ago :) Unfortunatelly since
that time I almost did not have a time to dig into -mdoc and
manpages translation issues. But I know hwo did (hi, Ruslan *wave*) :-)
I'd suggest you to wait few days until Ruslan Ermilov come back from
vacation and ask him about better way to translate manual pages
macros and infrastructure. He is most expirienced person in project
related to *roff issues and almost completely rewrote and much extended
my stuff related to manpages translation support wrote back in 4-CURRENT days.
