Well, it is a simple page so translated it [attached].

For what it's worth, of the ~1200 packages that I work with only four
are installing non-english pages in man root. Two I have fixed upstream,
one is pending, and this one from groff. So a lot of projects are
following the FHS hierarchy for man pages. I believe you that not all
systems do, but anecdotally I think the majority do.

Thank you again, for the informative reply and resource links.
