I have similar fears.

Nice tip :)

Funny, but I have no experience with Bulgarian man pages :)
I guess they need to be encoded in something other than utf-8. I checked
the German man page and it seems to be in Latin1. Russian on the other
hand is in koi8-r. The "standard" 8-bit encoding for Bulgarian is CP1251
and this is listed in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED but re-coding the man
page in that gives no useful results - the text is interpreted as latin1
(garbled).

I hope I'll find some time to play with man and see how it does it for
Russian and what can be done to add Bulgarian support.
