Install the package named language-pack-<two letter language code>
e.g. sudo apt-get install language-pack-es for Spanish
Install the package named manpages-<two letter language code>
e.g. apt-get install manpages-es for Spanish man pages.
Set your LANG environment variable to <language>_<country>.<encoding>,
e.g. LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
Run man

	Thanks for the nice answer. I've tried, but there is no ko yet. ko is korean. Who did translate your language? Canonical? – Benjamin Feb 7 '11 at 0:31
	You're right, it looks like Korean hasn't been supported since 2005. Try asking here: answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages-ko/+addquestion or join up to contribute here: translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+translations – Mikel Feb 7 '11 at 6:28

First part of question already answered. This will answer second part of question.

Look at this page and locate you language and open the page for your language team from the link.
