- Subject: Wish: Better support for translated manual pages
Hello,
I would like to have better support for translated manual pages.
In a possible implementation,
man_MANS = foo.1 foo.de.1
would install `foo.1' as `@mandir@/man1/foo.1' and `foo.de.1' as
`@mandir@/de/man1/foo.1'. Would you consider a patch to that effect?
Right now, I use a separate directory and Makefile for each language.
The `Makefile.am' contains, for example
mandir = @mandir@/de
man_MANS = foo.1
I find that difficult to maintain. Is there an easier way, which
requires only one Makefile for all languages?
Thanks,
Martin
