Dear manpages maintainers.
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including manpages) as
well for a large variety of target languages.
During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometiems this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention
not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original.
We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.
Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to translate into
your source format.
Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.
I'm now reporting the errors for your project. As requested, each
issue is sent in an unique mail for easier tracking on your side. If
future reports should use another channel, please let me know.

three of -> three or
"B<%G>, B<%g>, and B<%V> yield values calculated from the week-based year "
"defined by the ISO\\ 8601 standard. In this system, weeks start on a "
"Monday, and are numbered from 01, for the first week, up to 52 or 53, for "
"the last week. Week 1 is the first week where four or more days fall within "
"the new year (or, synonymously, week 01 is: the first week of the year that "
"contains a Thursday; or, the week that has 4 January in it). When three of "
"fewer days of the first calendar week of the new year fall within that year, "
"then the ISO 8601 week-based system counts those days as part of week 53 of "
"the preceding year. For example, 1 January 2010 is a Friday, meaning that "
"just three days of that calendar week fall in 2010. Thus, the ISO\\ 8601 "
"week-based system considers these days to be part of week 53 (B<%V>) of the "
"year 2009 (B<%G>); week 01 of ISO\\ 8601 year 2010 starts on Monday, 4 "
"January 2010."
