The gnome-help-browser does not currently support internationalization of
man pages. I have added support so that the help-browser process locale
languages in a way compatible with the man command. The following is from
the man man page.
LANG If LANG is set, its value defines the name of the
subdirectory where man first looks for man pages.
Thus, the command `LANG=dk man 1 foo' will cause
man to look for the foo man page in
.../dk/man1/foo.1, and if it cannot find such a
file, then in .../man1/foo.1, where ... is a direc
tory on the search path.
Actually, the man program (man-1.5) first looks for man pages as described
above, but additionnally tries the long form 'dk_XX' before reverting to
the .../man1/foo.1 . I have implemented similar processing for the
gnome-help-browser. Would you, please, review this small patch.

Thanks.
P.S. If this was found usefull, I would like to be contacted by the
maintainer of this program, I have a few related ideas that I would like
to discuss before investing some more time.
