As I said last time, first we need to determine whether:

1. A single set of manual pages are installed, for a single language,
or:
2. Multiple languages are installed, in which case how are the files
named and in which directories are they stored?

Also, if a translated manual page doesn't exist, the English version
would presumably be used, but should the --html-description header be
generated in English or in the selected language?
