Hi, everybody! Could you please help me! I(and I have a team, we want really do it) want to translate man-pages from English or Russian into Uzbek! I heard that there are no po files in manpages. Could you please explain me *how to translate man-pages,* if possible step by step (I'm not so smart)! Excuse me, for taking your time! Thank you.

Michael Kerrisk maintains the core man page set in English. He publishes the man pages as ordinary tarballs:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/
All you need to do is just translate the individual man pages, and assemble and publish a similar tarball. Then, contact the maintainer of Fedora's man-pages rpm, and figure out how you want to coordinate your work -- whether the maintainer's going to pull your tarball and publish it as a subpackage, or you maintaining a separate rpm package, by yourself.
My personal suggestion to you is to use Docbook XML to write your man pages, and use Docbook XSL stylesheets to translate them into both a troff format, and a nice HTML version, from the same source.
FYI.
The SRPM of docbook2X includes an excellent template docbook for man pages. ./docbook2X-0.8.8/test/refentry/leidert-example.xml
# The author of template lives in debian...
Best Rio.
