the i18n of manpages and not only manpages
i18n of man pages is made by a lot of independent authors
and everyone translates termset differently so i
think developers of every single language should get
consensus about translation of common headers
I suggest these ones:
NAME
USAGE
DESCRIPTION
SYNOPSIS
BUG > these is the biggest problem cause in many langs
ERROR > both are named by single term but they shoud not
BUGS > if there is no possibility to differ them for error[s]
ERRORS > there should be native-word used and for bug[s] 'bug' and
> native-grammar's plural form of it

NOTES
titles of parts of manual as 'Linux Programmer's Manual' etc.
very wide-used names as shell, stream, file, directory etc.

first i suggest adjustment of this list
then every language-speaking developers(not only translators)
should chose the Only Right(tm) wording
