Linux Build man Chinese help manual

Learning it students know that Linux is a good thing, but beginners often because too many commands feel headache, more headache is all the help documents are English. In fact, Linux is strong, it is its powerful command line, so complicated commands to a level six below the English level of the students to see is really a very cruel thing, and even greatly dispel the enthusiasm of many students to learn Linux.

This article provides a simple way for the poor English Linux beginners to turn man help information into Chinese.
