Michael Kerrisk maintains the core man page set in English. He publishes the man pages as ordinary tarballs: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/ All you need to do is just translate the individual man pages, and assemble and publish a similar tarball. Then, contact the maintainer of Fedora's man-pages rpm, and figure out how you want to coordinate your work -- whether the maintainer's going to pull your tarball and publish it as a subpackage, or you maintaining a separate rpm package, by yourself. My personal suggestion to you is to use Docbook XML to write your man pages, and use Docbook XSL stylesheets to translate them into both a troff format, and a nice HTML version, from the same source. -- Fedora-i18n-list mailing list Fedora-i18n-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-i18n-list
