I agree your idea.

Did you try the Japanese groff (ja-groff)? ja-groff accepts
Japanese-EUC documents, so you can modify ja-groff to accept
Korean-EUC documents.

Hmm... Non-Internatilalization of utilities (groff, man, etc.)
is big problem.

Japanese manuals are already in the FreeBSD doc.?? distribution,
and they are installed under /usr/share/man/ja/.
But we cannot read Japanese manuals by using /usr/bin/man...
Japanese version of man (jman), groff (jgroff) must be installed.

I think this situation is very bad. In the near future, other
translation (Korean, Chinese, etc.) of FreeBSD manuals will be
available. So FreeBSD standard groff and man should be
Internatinalized, I think.
