I would like to create new namespaces (and directories) for Perl documentation
in french. The translations are already available at :

             http://www.enstimac.fr/Perl/DocFr/

Several propositions :

        podfr
         podfr/Win32.pod
         podfr/perl.pod
         podfr/perlhist.pod
         ...
         podfr/perlxstut.pod

or
        pod/fr
         pod/fr/Win32.pod
         pod/fr/perl.pod
         pod/fr/perlhist.pod
         ...
         pod/fr/perlxstut.pod

I have also some modules and script to convert from (french) POD to xxx.

modules:
        PodFr::Latex
        PodFr::Html
        PodFr::Man
        ...
  or
        Pod::Fr::Latex
        Pod::Fr::Html
        Pod::Fr::Man
        ...

and scripts:
        perldocfr
        pod2latexfr
        pod2manfr
        ...

There are derived from there 'english' equivalent tools (pod2html, pod2latex,
perldoc, etc.) and modules.

Maybe internationalization (i18n) of these modules and tools are already in
progress but I don't hear of that...

Why i18n ? Some reasons :
- 'NAME' is fixed for first =head1, (in french 'NOM')
- perldoc searches only in 'pod' directory, not in 'podfr' or 'pod/fr' or
'pod/de', etc.
- some hardcoded english expressions like 'entry in the xxx manpage'
- etc.

Thank you for your comments.

PS: excuse me for my poor english... I'm french ;-)
