No, the manpage System does not work like this.
Manpages are in
/usr/share/man/man1
man2
...
man8
and the localized in
/usr/share/man/ar/man1
man2
...
man8
If you have setup for example your "export LANGUAGE=ar_MA.UTF-8"
correctly, you will get automaticly arabized manpages and if they
are not disponible, you will get the default english.
IF your locale is another then "ar_??" then you can run man with
LC_LANGUAGE=ar_MA.UTF-8 man <manpage>
but you can make a little wraper script like
__( '/home/michelle.konzack/bin/arman' )________
/
| #!/bin/bash
|
| LC_LANGUAGE=ar_MA.UTF-8 man $@
