Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I've pushed these changes from 4343ca8ba5 to
cfe606572d, with an additional TODO comment on 378df42fc5 about the
not-so-translated manual pages.

Yup, that sounds the cleanest solution. Nonetheless...

It currently isn't at all, as it says as soon as I tried:
[...] build system `perl' does not support cross builds
Also, they use a LD_PRELOAD library for the translation, which seems
suspicious too.

I was thinking about the implicit input "locales" and replacing it with
a package generated based on the arguments provided to the build system,
but I guess you're thinking about build-locale from (gnu build locale)
and its usage for the system locales on (gnu system locale). Should it
be then another derivation at (guix build-system gnu) level? Any
pointer about this is more than welcome.

Thank you. :-)
Happy hacking!
