According to ‘man-pages(7)’, the TH command in the man page should have
the date of the latest version of the document:
The first command in a man page should be a TH command:
.TH title section date source manual
where:
[…]
date The date of the last revision — remember to
change this every time a change is made to the
man page, since this is the most general way of
doing version control.
Dates should be written in the form YYYY-MM-DD.
I assume we expect man pages to conform to the conventions in
‘man-pages(7)’.
So surely the best way to tell if a translated page is out of date is to
compare these dates in the two documents, no?
