I'm not sure. Maybe non-english speaking users simply did not use the
tool so far? Or maybe you did not hear from them? I translation,
native and non native users are working, and lowering barriers is not
too bad.

I understand.
If this changes, I can most certainly provide patches, but I would
only invest the time if those have a chance of being integrated. But
of course I don't know if/which translators would actually translate
the man page. I might do it for German, but it is quite big (which is
good).
Again, thanks for the update.
Greetings
Helge
