This mentions https://github.com/jnavila/git-manpages-l10n, so I can point our translator to this source.

This should be shipped somehow, of course, by the distributions.

And the problem mentioned in this post can be solved by carefully designed compendia, so that translations are reused whenever possible.

Also the "problem" about line numbers and diffs is not problem at all, if you set up po4a approriately, I'm happy diffing po files all the time (and git blame remains meaningful as well).

Greetings

          Helge
