Description Iñaki Baz Castillo 2005-09-01 19:27:50 UTC
Version:           desconocido (using KDE 3.4.1, Debian Package 4:3.4.1-1 (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10

If I open a console and exec "cp man" I get the cp man in spanihs, because it's the default languaje in my system.

But if I open Konqueror and write "man:/scp" I get this:

Hay más de una página de manual que concuerda.
("There are more than one man page...")
/usr/share/man/es/man1/cp.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/cp.1.gz
 
I think it should show me just the Spanish version of the man (or the English version if the Spanish version doesn't exist).

Just it. Bye.

Well, in KDE 3.5, there is a new warning about *not* choosing the translated version, as it might be outdated.

So this bug contradicts the previous bug #58875 .

The second problem that I see is about encodings, as man pages do not tell in which enocoding they are. So if there is an encoding problem, the user must be able to go back to the English version.

(In any case this problem will not be changed for KDE 3.5.x, as the KIO slave is not aware at all about languages.)

Have a nice day!

I also feel it is good that kio_man let's me choose the language.
I'm german speaking, but I mostly use the english man pages.
