 Original bugreport:

 I recently installed ffmpeg and used the manpages in the package as an
 introduction. Perhaps, some users of ffmeg would appreciate reading
 these manpages in their mother tongue.

 A precondition for efficiency in the working field of translation /
 localisation, to the texi-files (like ffmpeg.texi) which are precursors
 of the manpages, respective message catalogue templates (pot-Files)
 should be available.

 I've done translations within the German translation team and I am
 convinced that I would be able to convert such files from the texi into
 the groff format which is accepted by the po4a tools which have
 pot-files as output.

 But, in any case, internationalisation an localisation are step that
 need a common approach of maintainers and translators.
