Yes, I know it from the german man pages. Several once are quite
different from the english original. I frequently use
env LANG=C man command
to also read the original (for various packages). At least judging
from the german man pages, I think man "translators" rather wrote a
german version and not a good translation and there seems to be no
mechanism available to keep man page translation in sync. I faced the
same problem when I translated man pages I wrote myself (though here I
simply update the translation once the original is updated).
So if there is any effort on a more general translation framework for
man pages (like there is for the web pages, po-debconf, ...) I will be
happy to help. Regarding the "it" and "ko" translation, I am afraid I
don't speak those languages and right now I don't have a collegue who
does speak them (though if everything else fails, I might try to
contact a former italian collegue of mine, but I don't think he'll
help).
Thanks for taking care.
Greetings
Helge
