No, it's different. I read the general documentation to have an 
overview, I read the man pages to know exactly what does the X flag. 
Outdated documentation is not an issue like an outdated man page. Man 
pages are and need to be very specific. Wrong (or incomplete) specific 
information is very bad. Not having the GELI section in the translated 
handbook is a completely different case.

Yes, this is the only solution. An automated way to display on top of 
the translated man page that's outdated, and a simple way to display the 
english one (or vice-versa).
