That helps. I looked those over and the mozilla i18n. I see what to work
toward. Had to re-read some man pages after looking at these.
I'll pull together something small with several langs and see if that
works. If that method works OK, I'll do the whole bunch.

The man page problem is from the modules only having just enough of a
POD to name the package. Nothing else.
