STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Assuming you have the fr_FR.utf8 locale (which comes with the glibc-locales package):

1. Launch a terminal
2. Run the following command:

  LANG=fr_FR.utf8 info guix


EXPECTED RESULT

☑ The info program is displayed in French
☑ The Guix manual is displayed in French


UNEXPECTED RESULT

☑ The info program is displayed in French
☒ The Guix manual is displayed in English instead of French

(Note that according to Weblate the Guix manual is fully translated into French.)


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I understand the first paragraph of the manual links to the manual in other languages, but people who can't read English might just overlook that information.

I agree, but I won’t be working on this.

For now only “info guix.fr” or “info guix-cookbook.fr” etc. work.

<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2019-05/msg00011.html>
is relevant.

Regards,
Florian

Thanks for the info, Florian, I had no idea about that :)

Your expectations are legitimate though; I think it’d be worth bringing
it up again on bug-texinfo@gnu.org if you feel so inclined.

There’s not much that can be done on the Guix side so I’ll close it
here.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
