Configuring man =============== First thing, you need to tell man that you'd rather read manpages in Italian: to do so, you should set (in .bash_profile, e.g.) the environment variable LANG to it_IT: export LANG=it_IT Then, You should set LESSCHARSET to latin1: export LESSCHARSET=latin1 This takes care also of less(1) displaying latin1(7) characters properly. Then, you need to edit the man configuration file (/etc/man.config or /etc/man.conf): NROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tlatin1 -mandoc NEQN /usr/bin/geqn -Tlatin1
