Hi Rafael,

thanks for taking the time to translate the manual!

You can build the manual only by configuring the repository. If you are
running guix, you can simply run `guix environment guix` inside your
current git checkout. Otherwise, you will need to install the required
dependencies using your system package manager.

Then, you can run:

./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var

and to build only the manual:

make doc/guix.pt_BR.info

or

make doc/guix.pt_BR.html
