Translations
There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most of the work happens in the po-man directory.
make -C po-man translate-templates Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent to the tp-coorindator before release.
make get-trans rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and man pages.
make -C po-man translate-mans This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file and produce a translated man page in that language. All of the man pages generated are found in po-man/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
