<h1><em>man-pages</em> translations</h1>
<p>
If you are thinking about translating <em>man-pages</em>,
you might want to take a look at
<a href="http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/08/translating-man-pages.html">some of my quick thoughts on the subject</a>.
</p>
<p>
Andries Brouwer has a
<a href="http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/man/index.html">page</a>
that lists various translation projects for <em>man-pages</em>.
However, by now many of the links on that page are broken,
and many of the remaining links point to projects that seem to provide
translations of just a portion of the pages in <em>man-pages</em>,
or which are updated only sporadically, or not at all.
</p>
<p>
The table below lists translation projects that
I have some details about.
I'll add to it if/when I get details from other projects.

The currently active French translation is maintained
within the perkamon project.
It is based on extraordinary earlier translation work
performed by two individuals,
<a href="http://www.blaess.fr/christophe/">Christophe Blaess</a>
and
<a href="http://manpagesfr.free.fr/">Alain Portal</a>.
Information (French only) and downloads are available at
<a href="http://traduc.org/perkamon/">http://traduc.org/perkamon/</a>.
The workflow used by the French translation team
can easily be adapted to
other languages, see information (in English) at
<a href="http://perkamon.alioth.debian.org/">http://perkamon.alioth.debian.org/</a>.

L'Italian Linux Documentation Project (ILDP) si occupa
della traduzione in italiano delle pagine di manuale
contenute nel pacchetto man-pages mantenuto da Michael Kerrisk,
ma anche di tutte le altre pagine di manuale solitamente
distribuite insieme ai relativi software.
Attualmente le pagine tradotte sono solo una piccola parte del
totale. Per dare una mano potete fare riferimento al sito
<a href="http://www.pluto.it">http://www.pluto.it</a>,
in particolare alle pagine:
<a href="http://www.pluto.it/ildp">http://www.pluto.it/ildp</a>
e
<a href="http://www.pluto.it/ildp/collaborare/">http://www.pluto.it/ildp/collaborare/</a>.
La versione piu' aggiornata di queste pagine e' scaricabile
all'indirizzo
<a href="ftp://ftp.pluto.it/pub/pluto/ildp/man">ftp://ftp.pluto.it/pub/pluto/ildp/man</a>.
Per correzioni, aggiunte e problemi potete scrivere a Elisa,
all'indirizzo lab-AT-kkk.it:
per i complimenti invece scrivete alla lista,
all'indirizzo pluto-ildp-AT-lists.pluto.it :-)

The Italian Linux Documentation Project (ILDP) takes care
of the translation into Italian of both the man pages contained
in the <em>man-pages</em> package, maintained by Michael Kerrisk,
and of the man pages not included in this package,
that are usually distributed together with the program
they belong to.
Until now we have a small number of pages translated.
If you want to participate in the ILDP, you can refer to
<a href="http://www.pluto.it">http://www.pluto.it</a>,
in particular to the following web pages:
<a href="http://www.pluto.it/ildp">http://www.pluto.it/ildp</a>
and
<a href="http://www.pluto.it/ildp/collaborare/">http://www.pluto.it/ildp/collaborare/</a>.
You can download the latest version of the Italian man pages from
<a href="ftp://ftp.pluto.it/pub/pluto/ildp/man">ftp://ftp.pluto.it/pub/pluto/ildp/man</a>.
Please send corrections, additions and communicate problems with
the translated man pages to Elisa, lab-AT-kkk.it.
If you want to congratulate for the well done job, you can write to
our mailing list, at the address pluto-ildp-AT-lists.pluto.it :-)
