The PHP manual is not only available in various formats, it is also available in various languages. The text of the manual is first written in english, then teams of people across the world take care of translating it to their native language. If a translation for a specified function or chapter has not yet been made, the build system of the manual falls back to the english version of it.
Peoples involved in the translations start from the XML source code available from http://cvs.php.net/ and from it they translate to thier mother language. They do not use the HTML, the plain text, or the PDF version. It is the build system which takes care of the conversions from XML to human readable formats.
