As far as I can tell (but then again, I don't necessarily have the
required expertise), Morris' patch works as expected, with « M-x woman
RET su RET » allowing me to see the French manpage for su (in fact,
it gives me the choice between /u/s/man/fr/man1/su.1.gz
and /u/s/man/man1/su.1.gz). Similarly, starting emacs with
« LC_MESSAGES=spanish ./emacs/src/emacs » (all other $LANG and
$LC_* variables being set to fr_FR.UTF-8) gives me manpages in Spanish
(well, for the handful of them which are present on my system).

I suggest installing this patch.

Please CC me in further discussions, as I'm no longer subscribed to
