Yes. Info pages are one by-product of Texinfo format, which also can produce laser-printable manuals, and HTML pages. At the very beginning, some people were writing Info pages directly, but it did not last. The proper way is writing Texinfo, and deriving Info out of it.

Which is why they are mostly not translated, ie, no localization effort. Not even "info info" is translated!

At least, some man pages are translated.

If you look under '/usr/share/info' there is only a 'de' directory, and the only app translated there is 'gcal'. Only one!

If you instead look under '/usr/share/man' you see 'de,', 'es', 'fr, 'hu', 'it', 'ja', 'pl', 'pt_BR', 'ru', 'sr', 'sv'...
