Hi,
I don't understand Korean either, but... When you convert for example
the first one with
iconv -f euc-kr -t utf-8 < rpm.8 > rpm_utf8.8
you'll get Korean-looking characters at least. Google Translate
recognizes it as Korean, and the translation for the first sentence is:
"as a powerful package manager rpm to create and install the software
package and to validate and update the question and I can geohal."
Wow, didn't know Google Translate knows Korean (well, you dont notice what
you aren't looking for - at least I dont :)
Looks sane enough for me, re-converted to utf from the original versions
now. Thanks for your help everybody!
