This is the correct place for general FVWM questions.

Any translations of FVWM man pages would be most welcome, however, we
would require some method of ensuring that non-English man pages are
kept up-to-date.

This is difficult as the FVWM developers constantly update the (English)
man pages whenever they add new features. It is not uncommon to see the
fvwm man page being altered every few days.

Additionally, there are actually 44 different man pages for FVWM!
The "fvwm" man page is by far the largest, but there are also separate
man pages for each module & for several utilities.

So, in short, if you can determine a method of keeping non-English
man pages synchronised with the English man pages the developers use,
I'm sure the developers would agree to incorporate them into FVWM.

One way to reduce the amount of work I suppose, is to only maintain
non-English man pages for stable releases of FVWM - they will change
much less often.

SCoTT. :)
