Welcome!
The perkamon project's goal is to help translating the
Linux man-pages
into other languages. And more importantly, it helps
maintaining these translations up-to-date. Manual pages
are converted into PO files by
po4a. These
are regular PO files; translators can use any tool
(text editor, specialized or not, online services, etc)
they like to manage their translations.
Languages
Currently the only available translations are in
French.
Please contact us if you want to
help this translation, or are interested in starting a new
language. Russian people started a
man-pages-ru
project on SourceForge, and German translators for Debian are
actively working to update their
German translation.
Both teams also manage their translations with
po4a, but
we use slightly different frameworks.
