Yes, but I agree with you, it's practically impossible.

I'll create some for Russian man pages when I'll start to translate them,
but what branch I must tracking? STABLE or CURRENT, or both (like official
English pages)?

Yes, maybe it's harder for coders to change *.{c|h} files in one
directory and man pages in another, but who knows?
If we have strong agreement, that DocProj is little different from
SrcProj ;) and man pages belong to DocProj, then it's good way for creating
language-specific manpages-${LANG} parts of distribution. But.. I guess
not this time, so little translators, so many docs.. ;)

Yeah, I'll take that like a pattern for future work.
Sincerely yours, Andy.
