+Dear PACKAGE maintainer,
+the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
+man pages both from a large variety of sources (including PACKAGE) as
+well for a large variety of target languages.
+
+During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
+original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
+typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
+convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
+original.
+
+We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
+least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
+distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
+the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
+already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
+if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
+the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
+each and every issue.
+
+Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
+i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
+groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
+possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
+your source format.
+
+Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
+not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
+problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
+them.
+
+I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports
+should use another channel, please let me know.
