I've tried changing the man pages on debian from English to Italian but all I have tried hasn't worked yet. First of all, I installed the manpages in Italian with apt install manpages-it. I then edited the /etc/locale.gen file and uncommented it_IT.utf8, then ran locale-gen to update it. After that I tried with:
man -Lit printf
man --locale=it printf
LANG=it_IT.utf8
but none give me the manual pages in Italian. The only manual page in Italian I can get is man man, but the other manuals are just in English.
