I'm afraid that, despite LANG=C.UTF-8, this program talks to me in some
heathen language I don't know.  Same for its man page...

Localized man pages are fine in /usr/share/man/es/ but I wouldn't expect
them in the default path.  The vast majority of users don't speak Spanish,
while using developer tools without a knowledge of English is a losing
proposition.

A tool for eg. filling Spanish tax forms would be reasonable to use entirely
a non-English language, but md2term is supposed to be useful to everyone.

If translating the program and/or making it locale-aware would be too hard
in the short term, I'd at least add a big fat warning in the description.
