Very interesting the tip that I just read in Free Life, on the comment of a user in the Ubuntu-es forums, explaining how to put the man pages in spanish. In case you don't know, these pages They are essential when it comes to knowing in depth the use of a command or its parameters. |
For example, to find information about the nano command, just type:
man nano
All the information, very detailed indeed, will appear in English. To see it in Spanish, just type the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install manpages-en manpages-en-extra
sudo dpkg-reconfigure local
Linuxeros: it would be very interesting if you leave the necessary commands in the comments to achieve the same effect in other distros. 🙂

This other link can help you:
http://es.tldp.org/htmls/proy-paginas-man.html
This can be a good starting point:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/manpages-es
There you can contact the maintainers of the Spanish manpages package.
Cheers! Paul.
I'm in! Is there an official way to do it? I want to contribute my grain of sand.
fedora:
1. su
2.yum update
3. yum -y install man-pages-en man-pages-en-extra
Note that those poaginas of the manual in Spanish are outdated
Those of English are usually out of date, but in Spanish it is another matter

if I put «man man» everything comes out in Spanish…. but, for example: «man vi» comes out as before (in English) = Yes I misunderstood this news or is there something missing ?? '
«Man man» already comes out in Spanish without installing the manual pages in Spanish
Wooo quite interesting, I do not like to read much and much less in English .., hehe my solution
Thank you! Good contribution!
then it doesn't work ???
I wanted to say that the pages in English are updated, but those of Spanish are not, far from it
regards
I just tried it and nothing happened ...
… Actually it works but not all the manuals are in Spanish… I don't know if I like it… but you have to try it
man ls, cd (for example) I get in Spanish, now if I put man cat ... English.
Too bad? We could put together a group to translate the man pages… even if it's the missing ones.
As Marcelo says. It does work, but not all manuals were translated, sadly. So you will see that if you put man and a command, it will appear in Spanish, man and another command and it will appear in English. 🙁
I think there is no other way to do it better… if you find out about one, don't stop writing and sharing it.
Cheers! Paul.
Good. I have followed the instructions to put the man command in Spanish ... it still comes out in English. Any other alternative ?.
Thank you
I have not seen that it can be installed, but there are more pages (and some more updated) in: http://man.redkaos.net/
And in arch?
great it worked but with errors it presents me with symbols in some letters
Interesting, but I would like to know what is the installation path of these man pages in ubuntu.
Thank you
*** Alternative to man command> file.txt for "mdoc warning: Empty input line" (where man pages) ***
If you run in the terminal ...
man un_command_any pe
man ls… you can read a lot of information about this command by accessing the corresponding man page.
To dump the data into a text file, just execute ...
man any_command> text_file.txt pe
man ls> man_ls.txt the extension ".txt" is not necessary but I think it helps to easily recognize a text file, distinguishing it from others (this last name is common among text files).
But sometimes we come across message (s) like:
mdoc warning: Empty input line # a number for me with the live USB of Linux Mint 15 (Olivia) MATE happens to me with:
man tar> man_tar.txt
Actually the text file is created, and apparently fine. But if we want an alternative that does not offer errors we can execute ...
cp /usr/share/man/man1/tar.1.gz / home / mint / Desktop / gzip -d /home/mint/Desktop/tar.1.gz We will obtain the tar.1 file, which we can now open to read its content. It has the same as man_tar.txt but with codes on how to display the information. That is, to read it is better to man_tar.txt.
With all this, we already know in which folder or directory the man page files are located in Linux Mint MATE:
/ usr / share / man /

Thank you
The bro page examples are fine.
They can be installed by running in a terminal:
sudo gem install bropages
If you don't have Ruby before, you must run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.3
An example:
bro ls

In my live USB there are problems with the locale, which comes in English. sudo locale-gen es_ES.UTF-8 works but does not get what you were looking for, neither with LC_MESSAGES = es or LC_MESSAGES = es_ES or with LANG = es or with LANG = es_ES. sudo apt-get upgrade takes a long time and does not complete as the corresponding disk space or memory is full (perhaps the failure has to do with this).
But luckily, there is an easy solution. Just run:
man -L is command
eg:
man -L is ls
Well, if it runs too ...
export LC_ALL = »en_ES.UTF-8 ″
… No need to add -L is a man command. Thanks to http://debian.tallerdigitalvw.com/2011/07/10/cambiar-paginas-de-man-al-espanol-es_gt/
I think the key is in:
LANGUAGE =…
eg if it is ...
LANGUAGE = »en_ES.UTF-8 ″
… Although when executing locale we have:
LANG = en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE = en_ES.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_NUMERIC = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_TIME = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_COLLATE = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_MONETARY = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_MESSAGES = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_PAPER = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_NAME = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_ADDRESS = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_TELEPHONE = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_MEASUREMENT = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_IDENTIFICATION = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
LC_ALL = en_US.UTF-8
... that is, all the parameters in American English except LANGUAGE (in Spanish from Spain), when executing man command the information will appear in Spanish (unless missing, which will be displayed in English -the default language for these help pages- ).
If then we execute ...
LANGUAGE = »en_US.UTF-8 ″
… When executing man command the information will be displayed in English.
More information in http://blog.carlosguerrero.com/problemas-con-locales-en-vps-de-linode/
For LANGUAGE to have the value we are interested in, we must execute:
export LANGUAGE = »en_ES.UTF-8 ″
It has been a great help.
Thank you very much 🙂
Hello, I did all the steps indicated to have the manuals in Spanish, but it did not work, they continue to appear in English. Should we do more?
