Thanks for the update. Based on what is in git now (I just updated the German translation) this is now described quite well for the standard package. And yes, so this bug can be closed when 0.70 (?) hits unstable.
Hi Martin and Helge,thanks for your work and the updated documentation. I'm the one who wrote most of the scripts for the manpages-l10n package -- back then, mostly for the Linux kernel manpages and one (German) translation.
Today, the project manpages-l10n has grown considerably, and IMHO, those scripts are no longer a good fit for the massive amount of source files and translations.
I've thought a long time already about rewriting those scripts to be far more efficient than they are right now, but this is a huge task, so I postponed it several times.
Maybe your deprecation date of 2030 is a good motivation now to finally start this task. :-)
However, this needs to be done in an coordinated effort which I would need to discuss with Helge and Mario (maintainers of manpages-l10n).
This is a discussion we need to take elsewhere, this is clearly not the scope of this bug report. Just wanted to give a quick heads-up.
Regards, Tobias
