French translation files for the man pages. This build includes both
"man-pages-fr" and "man-pages-extra-fr".
-By default, the man pages are converted to ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin-1)
-encoding, which works well with LANG=fr_FR. If you're using a UTF-8
-locale, and the pages don't display accented characters properly,
-try rebuilding the package with UTF8=yes set in the environment.
+By default, the man pages are installed as UTF-8. This should work
+with man-db regardless of whether you use a Unicode (fr_FR.UTF-8) or
+ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (fr_FR) setting for LANG.
+
+If you set UTF8=no in the environment, the man pages will be converted
+to Latin-1. This is not recommended for Slackware 15.0 and up.
