Well, Content-Negotiation is still not handled, but how cool is this? http://www.debian.org.es/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apt&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=&locale=es Isn't this cool? The "Available translations" will not work for "all sections" searches, like: http://www.debian.org.es/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apt&sektion=0&apropos=0&manpath= you have to provide the specific section for the CGI script to 'find' the translated manual pages. But when you are navigating through the manpages references (the 'SEE ALSO') you will have a proper section and it will work. You can also directly specify a language and will provide a translated manpage if it exists. For example, apt(8) in Spanish: http://www.debian.org.es/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=apt&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+Sid&format=html&locale=es The only problem, however, is that man is confused by the environment and does not parse non-ASCII characters properly when presenting the translated manpages. Will leave it for now... Javier
