Since good translations are not distinguished from obsolete
translations, those who know both Polish and English are forced
to view English man pages only, or risk being misinformed.

E.g. Polish version of 'man ncurses' doesn't include the wide
character API. Polish version of 'man perl' refers to 31 more
detailed man pages, English version refers to 134 of them.


Some translations are not obsolete but simply misleading:

man waitpid, English version:

       The value of options is an OR of zero or more of the  fol­
       lowing constants:

       WNOHANG
              which  means  to return immediately if no child has
              exited.

       WUNTRACED
              which means to also return for children  which  are
              stopped  (but not traced), and whose status has not
              been reported.  Status for  traced  children  which
              are stopped is provided also without this option.

       (For Linux-only options, see below.)
                                ^^^^^^^^^

[then a long description of other parts of the portable interface]

[finally, at the end: LINUX NOTES section, including Linux-specific
options; this is where that "see below" refers to]


man waitpid, Polish version:

       Wartość  options  jest  sumą  OR  zera  lub więcej spośród
       następujących stałych:

       WNOHANG
              oznacza  natychmiastowy  powrót  z  funkcji,  jeśli
              potomek nie zakończył pracy.

       WUNTRACED
              oznacza zakończenie także dla zatrzymanych procesów
              potomnych,  których   stan   jeszcze   nie   został
              zgłoszony.

       (Poniższe opcje dotyczą wyłącznie Linuksa.)
        ^^^^^^^^

[then the translated long description of other parts of the portable
interface; but "poniższe" suggests that *this* part, immediately below,
is Linux-only, where in fact it's not]

[finally, at the end: translated LINUX NOTES]
