Do you put your work (i.e. the translation) under the GPL?  If so, do you
agree that we add a line
> 
> .\" Skrivet av Jörgen Hägg, Lund, Sverige
> .\" Translated to English by J William Piggott

> into the file?
The original is licensed under Latex2e[1], which is incompatible with GPL. So
providing no changes are made that violate the original license, yes I agree.

I have attached v2 to this bug ticket that includes the requested line,
changes the dates, and the file encoding comment in the footer to UTF-8. It
may not be a bad idea to convert the original to UTF-8 as well?

confirms that we want it.  The two files would be installed as
$(mandir)/man7/groff_mmse.7 and $(mandir)/sv/man7/groff_mmse.7.  That might
not be perfect on all systems, but close enough, i think, and systems using
slightly different naming schemes can tweak the naming in their packaging
system.

LGTM. Thank you for your time and effort, Ingo.
