Hi, this new version of the patch takes your feedback into account. I tried to put guix.fr.texi in dist_info_TEXINFOS, but automake didn't generate the rules for building guix.fr.info in that case.
I don't like the fact that both the po and texi files are commited and will be changed together whenever someone makes a change in the manual. The French translation is just the beginning: I translated only the Introduction and the Installation pages. Also, I used the po file to add the @documentlanguage macro to change the texinfo strings to French (like "see", "next page", "up", etc). There's an issue with changes that add references: when that happens, the default translation would be the English version, so the reference would be to the English name (for instance, @pxref{Invoking guix package}), resulting in a build failure when the name has been changed (for instance "Invoquer guix package" in French). I would like to be able to localize the section name because it appears in link names. Any ideas?
