I tried this but it seems that my configuration is not the same as
yours, since I'm not even sure I have the Git source code (My
installation of Guix System was done by the iso image).

[env]$ ./bootstrap
bash: ./bootstrap: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Well, I'll keep your example for further tests, a good way to start in
guix environment guix.

It's true, Ludo, Simon, Julien and others have done an excellent job,
which I can refer to for a few questions I have.

In addition, I expect to be able to advance a little more in the
translation work before submitting it, the next release 1.2.0 being
planned for early November.

In the past, with debian or ubuntu, I had tried to use emacs but I
understood absolutely nothing about it. I'm tempted to try again soon,
especially with the po-mode...

Thank you, have some good times too!
