How to access translated page in tldr client(linux) in terminal ?

[kbdharun]

Is there any commands for tldr (linux) that could fetch and display a translated version of page in terminal. Is there any implementation for it. Or does it display a tranlated version of page based on system language?

If you check the client specification https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/CLIENT-SPECIFICATION.md#arguments, the clients could implement the optional --language argument.
If you want the Spanish version of a page you can use:

tldr --language es git

But the tldr client should fallback to English If that translation doesn't exist.

Also the clients use the LANG env var to know if they should use a more specific language instead of English https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/CLIENT-SPECIFICATION.md#language

Can this argument be added to https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/pages/common/tldr.md ?
Even though it can be accessed through tldr --help command , adding it to tldr.md would be helpful too

[navarroaxel]

In the tldr --help every client can add custom arguments only available in that implementation.
About the tldr tldr page, only the required arguments should be documented there.

In addition to @navarroaxel's answer, you can set the LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/CLIENT-SPECIFICATION.md#language

This has the advantage of setting your language preferences once for all programs, and then it will be followed where possible (given translation is a work-in-progress - open a PR to help out!).

These are well-known environment variables supported by a large number of different programs.
