Thanks you for pointing this issue.
There are multiple ways to fix this issue:
1. fix groff so that it allows translated section names
2. fix po4a so that it does not translate the NAME section (the SYNOPSIS
and DESCRIPTION are also mandatory, but it seems less critical)
3. the user can add an addendum to add a .TH line at the top of the page
(or avoid translating NAME)
4. fix po4a so that it adds a .TH line before the mdoc macros
2. is easy, but I don't think it is all right. In French it won't be an
issue, but for nom latin languages, the non translated section could be
weird.
1. would be really nice and could be useful for other issues.
I will first try to implement 4. and then 1.
The support for the BSDs' roff should also be taken into account.
Kind Regards,
