[pacman-dev] translation of manual pages

[Matthias Gorissen]

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:

This could become part of the next iso-release within a few months. Perhaps 
you would like to work on that first, too.
