[pacman-dev] translation of manual pages
Hello! Is translation of manual pages supported in pacman development ? I ask this, because I don't see any man pages apart from English. The french translation can be seen here e.g.: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11180 I would deal with the hungarian manpages in the future, if you support it :) Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
Previous discussions of this always ended with something like "Oh, we love what you are doing there - just go on and make it a community project." Which you should do - who cares about being official? If people like it, they will use it. My own project (German man pages, community-based, half a dozen of translators) is unfortunatedly sleeping ATM, even though it just needs to be tidied up. The current excuse is that we are working on the Official Install-Guide right now. The was a call for translations at [arch-releng] last months with detailed instructions: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2009-August/000656.html This could become part of the next iso-release within a few months. Perhaps you would like to work on that first, too. Am Wednesday 16 September 2009 08:03:35 schrieb Laszlo Papp:

Hello Mathias! Thanks the feedback. I don't see difference between manual page translations and that which are available now in the 'po' folders. I think it can occur anytime so that a translator/maintainer/developer doesn't have time for their hobby work in any momment, so i don't think it's a real point in this matter, or a good decision not to take his/her hardwork into official way. Anyway, If I have time for it, i will follow the french-sampled, unsupported way :) Thanks Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
