Bug#986640: ffmpeg: Internationalisation / Localisation of manpages

[Markus Hiereth <translation@hiereth.de>]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:4.1.6-1~deb10u1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I recently installed ffmpeg and used the manpages in the package as an 
introduction. Perhaps, some users of ffmeg would appreciate reading 
these manpages in their mother tongue.

A precondition for efficiency in the working field of translation / 
localisation, to the texi-files (like ffmpeg.texi) which are precursors 
of the manpages, respective message catalogue templates (pot-Files) 
should be available.

I've done translations within the German translation team and I am 
convinced that I would be able to convert such files from the texi into 
the groff format which is accepted by the po4a tools which have 
pot-files as output. 

But, in any case, internationalisation an localisation are step that 
need a common approach of maintainers and translators.

Best regards
Markus
