Being up-to-date.

The main problem with translated man pages with the classical method
is that they're always outdated.

By using software like po4a, one can guarantee that the translated man
page is always complete. If the PO file is outdated, the outdated
parts will be kept in English in the generated "translated" man
page.....

Of course, when a given treshold of "outdateness" is reached (usually
80%), the translated man page is not generated anymore.

What I'm unsure of is: does pppconfig use po4a for its man pages?

The fact that you, John, are asking these questions makes me think
that it doesn't....but in that case, why is there a PO directory in
the man/ directory.

Gregory, can you check this with the French team and the po4a guys
(John, most po4a promoters are French translators)?
