I wonder whether locale-selected documentation might be easier using
separate (directories of) pod files for each language. The installation
process would then need to include a step in ./configure that would
identify the appropriate pod set for the current locale, and the
resulting "make install" would do "pod2man" using the chosen set of
sources. (Likewise, "perldoc" could be adapted so that it is sensitive
to locale when looking for pods corresponding to the modules found in
@INC.)
This might be preferable to having (an indefinite set of) pod
translations concatenated to each source code "*.pm" file in a
distribution.
