[GRASS5] Internationalization of description.html files

GRASS GRASS developer

Hi all,

there is interest in internationalization of the
GRASS manual (description.html files). I had
a look at
grass61/include/Make/Html.make

and wonder if we could add them as (example):
description_fr_FR.html
and process somehow. The virtual session to generate
the HTML pages has to be run as often as languages
are present in the module's directory while changing
the LANGUAGE/LANG accordingly.

Maybe there are better ways?

Where do you want to store them? I would prefer to keep
translation separate from module source, either
manual/fr_FR/g.gisenv.html
or
manual/g.gisenv_fr_FR.html
