I suppose that we agree that the user should be shown 
translated versions, and that the question is if the 
translation of the section names should be done in the files 
or by the viewer.

I think it will give fewer complications to have the 
translations in the files.

  - We risk inconsistent translations (but Linda can help us
    with that)

  + We don't have to add partial gettextification to all the
    man-page viewers.
