Setting LANG or LC_MESSAGES should be the same for man.
I also had some troubles for that and I noticed that man was using the
preformatted catman page (in english) if it existed.
I had to edit /etc/manpath.config and add the row
MANDB_MAP /usr/man/de_DE /var/catman/de_DE
just BEFORE
MANDB_MAP /usr/man /var/catman
I also had to mkdir the hierarchy /var/catman/de_DE and the subdirs
cat1, cat2, cat3 ..., otherways user that doesn't have the de_DE set
will anyway get the cached german manpages :-)
I have prepared a script to do this automagically from the postinst (for
the manpages-it) but I was thinking that it should belong to the man
package. I asked Alvar Bray to pass me the man package (as he was asking
for someone to do that), but now he seems to be out of the Net...
