Always make reply to all including the mailing list. Also avoid top
posting (I have readjusted your e-mail to put it on the bottom). This
makes it easier for others to follow the conversation.

There used to be some people who knew how this is works. But no one
has doing anything about it for ages. The link I sent you was also
from a chinese person interested on translating a few months that got
stuck. I believe the way it worked was that a package would shadow the
core help function and would show a translated help text if available.
So only the help text of functions, not the manual would be translated
by this method. I can't help you more with this as I never tried do it
and don't know the details.
