Dear All, thank you for your kind support in 2020! Please accept my best wishes for 2021! Though I do understand that groff and friends do not officially support CJK languages, I came across a Japanese adaptation which was deeply buried in a debian archive. Unfortunately the binaries do not run

[PATCH] improve internationalization at startup

For one thing, it annoys me that the hyphenation language code for English is wrong. For another, it annoys me that no effort is made to determine groff's locale from the system. Please see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59814 . Attaching patch here as well for interest. I don't intend to merge
