in the formats, linuxdoc is quoted "unavaialble"

lyx seems to export correctly to sgml
seems that with both sgmltools and sgmltools-lite one have access to linuxdoc & docbook
LyX may not be able to export in all formats; I couldn't try all, but looks like lyx make DVI only from ut's original format (or LaTeX), but can do pdf with sgml lite and manpage format with sgmltools
should be enough to work, may be giving a look to the LyX mailing list, that (time ago) used to be responsive :-)
First I am wondering in how far translating man-pages is a openSUSE issue. If you are going to translate man-pages, it would be best to contact the individual program makers and ask them for advice, information and such. It could well be that somebody is already working on a translation for said package. That way you do not only give translations to openSUSE (and probably back to the community) but directly back to the whole Linux community and with that also to SUSE. That being said, a search on e.g. google on `how to write man pages` gave me the following result: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/November2003/article309.shtml http://www.cs.hmc.edu/qref/writing_man_pages.html http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/02/05/1651203 http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/courses/cs701/Handouts/man_pages.html and many, many more. Also see file:///usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Man-Page/index.html (when you have installed the HTML HOWTOs) Nice to see they thank S.u.S.E. (sic) Most likely info on 'info pages' is out there as well. I believe there are two things to translating man-pages. First is the translation, second is the formatting. Most programwriters will have problems with the first. The second part they can do themselves, once they have the text. And again: I think it is best to contact the program maker. Perhaps your language even has a page to group the translations. e.g. for Dutch that is at http://doc.nllgg.nl/ (I can't reach it now) that has several translations, yet no manpages. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
