Before adding non-English manual page, we need i18n support of man, nroff, and pager at least. Japanese old manual pages depend on Japanized tools such as japanese/man and japanese/groff (and not actively maintained these days...). It makes putting them into the src tree difficult. Since groff's i18n support is still poor, I personally think we should adopt UTF-8-capable toolchain if possible. I have surveyed such tools some time ago and found textproc/heirloom-doctools would be a promising one. It is from OpenSolaris (i.e. CDDL'd) and supports UTF-8 output. I am not sure compatibility of roff macro between the groff and the heirloom-doctools, though. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Sat_Oct_27_00_37_49_2007_323)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHIgnNTyzT2CeTzy0RAlsxAKCf0B9iyqAV6NvDPi/Te2Y3tdKxtQCeOsEe Gn/rxDoKDQFPXfbGKku7cUg= =l2jx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Sat_Oct_27_00_37_49_2007_323)----
