I see. It's unfortunate that our man page doesn't include the version it documents in the page itself.

Currently all our translations are handled through the TP (https://translationproject.org/html/welcome.html ). I'm not sure if they support translations of man pages etc. or what would be involved with distributing other translations in the GNU make package. At first glance I lean towards documentation translations being provided separately from the GNU make package: it seems more useful to allow these to be updated and distributed asynchronously.
