Hello there!
I have updated the de localized messages to 1.6. However, I did not translate
the man pages related messages because they are difficult to translate without
the respective context, which is a man page. Anyhow, this approach results in
possibly deploying redundant data - or dead data at best - on target machines,
so I am still unconvinced of any of the possible benefits. Lumping man page text
with program resources together makes it even harder to maintain, hence even
more prone to get abandoned. Yes, one could translate on a per message basis but
this would produce either useless or ridiculous man pages, just like those
manuals you get when you throw in a bunch of text into an automatic natural
language translator. :-D
Again, comments above modified or added messages are meant as a service for
reviewing, and will be removed before push.
Happy reviewing,
Jacob
