Traduc.org (in charge of other translation projects to French).
I know there are some similar projects with their own workflow, but only
targeted for their language and using different source(version) to be
translated. that may causes people get confused between English man pages
and localized, i.e. because of outdated. I was pondering to join the
existing projects to support more languages though; I did contact one of,
but seems not so much interested in. so decided to start another project.
that said if the resources can be centralized, that would speeds up to
improve the quality. I'm willing to discuss about it.
At this moment, the master man pages are based on man-pages package in
Fedora, and planning to provide the consistent content for all of supported
languages in Fedora first. eventually containing the man pages in English to
the release would be better to accomplish the above goal though, that may be
another milestone.
The only sustainable approach is to cooperate with man-pages upstream to
incorporate i18n and l10n support. E.g. po4a tool is good at this. Otherwise
you will always slip behind upstream English sources.
