Man pages are a pain to translate, and many translations are obsolete. Same, or worse, info pages.
One of the problems is that there is no modern tool for doing the job. It is done in plain text with arcane tokens, and the result is "compiled" later. Fine for devs, bad for plain, poor translators.
I think there is a plethora of tools "out there" that will let you write in e.g. SGML, and produce almost any kind of outpout, including a man page.
In a WYSIWYG, modern, way? Like OpenOffice? With a working example? No, there is none. I have tried a lot of them. Many of them require that I type cryptic tokens if I start a summary, another for bold, all mixed with the text. No, sorry, no way. I'm not going to learn all that gobbledegook, I'm too old a dog for learning difficult new tricks. And when they look nice, they don't have a working example of a manpage I can use. Right now I'm testing "serna", it appears to be the kind I want, but even with the docbook example opened I fail to see how to produce a man page. I see the package includes "/opt/serna-free-4.2/xml/stylesheets/docbook-xsl-1.68.1/manpages", with no help, a README that points to " http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=468779&grou...", with comments dated 2001 asking for help and no reply. The mailing lists So, I have absolutely no idea how to create a manpage with serna (or any other docbook editor), or worse, open an existing one and translate it. :-( Feel free to reply in the opensuse list if you know how to do that. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
