Greetings and salutations from Argentina!

We=92re new to FreeBSD and would like to =93HISPANIFY=94 our BSD system =
as much as
possible. Though my English is fairly fluent, my husband=92s is =
marginal.

For starters, replace the default American english manual (the one
accessible from shells) with one that describes commands in a standard
Spanish.
=20
2ndly, change system language preference to Spanish - =BFisn=92t there a =
Env
table or something in there that can be configured? Doesn=92t KDE =
auto-select
language based on some system preference table or something?
=20
3rdly, in as much as possible, change system prompts, messages etc=85 to
standard Spanish - =BFhas anyone bothered yet? If so, leads or =
instructions
would be great.
=20
We understand that the kernel, shells, etc remain in standard American
computerese, he he he=85 - no problem there.
=20
On a dare we put BSD on a AMD K-6 PC which we put together from parts. =
It=92s
been a successful experiment!
=20
Any thoughts, suggestions, leads, hints, instructions would be greatly
appreciated.

Attently,
