You are welcome, but the actual heavy lifting was done by Mario (in
CC), who will most certainly chime in with further details.

That is great. Please note, that manpages-l10n (and thus manpages-el)
extends beyond Debian, so the work you spend here is used by many
(other) distributions as well.

Thanks.

The first step (if you don't have any yet) is to get a Salsa account
for manpages-l10n. Then please clone the manpages-l10n git repository.
Next I would be happy if you could translate the single string:
%n translations missing until 80%
(Please place the "%n" at the right position for Greek)
Then please read "CONTRIBUTING.md" in the top level. I noticed some
slight errors with some paths, but you will get the main idea when
reading this. For the beginning, the sections
## Use consistent file headers
and
## Git workflow for reviewed .po files
are the most important ones.
If there are any questions, please ask them to Mario and myself.
Finally, have a look at the po files in po/el. It would be great if
you could review them (neither Mario nor myself speak Greek) and fix
all errors and complete all missing strings.
That's it for the start. More details will follow later or simply ask
if anything is unclear or you would like to know more details.
Thanks again for your support.
Greetings
Helge
P.S. Please refrain from any changes outside of po/el unless you have
discussed them with either Mario or myself. Thanks.
