Good point. I have enabled it:
 https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/9acfc349e0ea68a92baf818cc659121f40ab9c04

but as in other cases, the default is "check", and the result depends on  
if you have "po4a" installed, and if not installed, you will see a
warning  

    configure: WARNING: po4a not found; not building translated man pages

but ./configure will success.

I need to think about how to push it to Fedora/RHEL; I'll probably
create a sub-package with the translations, one for all or per
language. Is there any good practice for man pages?
