Actually, the latin1 support in groff means a bit more than just latin1, 
it can handle our two special characters, that are not part of latin1, 
but latin2: õ and û in latin2 and the capitalized version of 
those. So, as Miklos wrote it works fine with that small patch he sent, 
the pager does not have any problems either. If there's no objection 
with this in mind, I'd like to commit our first translations soon. I'd 
like to ask for approval from an src committer to commit that little 
patch and commit some man pages. My last question is just where they 
should go? To src/share/man/hu_HU.ISO8859-2? Or is there an alternative 
location for translated manuals?
