bug#36782: Website manual language links

[Julien Lepiller]

Hi guix,

The online manual says it is available in other languages on its index page, with links to… the current page. Can we fix that so one can switch to that other language?

I think it would be even better if we could link each page from one language to the others, but that looks very difficult.

This is related, but I am not sure if it is about how Guix online
manuals are generated:

We should apply the patch at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2019-05/msg00001.html>
to our Texinfo package, or at least the one used in doc/build.scm.

Any takers?  :-)

Thanks,

Hi,

instead of applying a patch to texinfo, shouldn't we simply rename guix.fr -> guix-fr or something?

Patrice and Gavin of Texinfo seemed to be OK with applying the patch
(see
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2019-05/msg00007.html>),
so I think we should just ping’em to make sure it actually is applied.

More generally, I think we should try to work hand-in-hand with upstream
Texinfo rather than work around shortcomings we encounter—Texinfo i18n
support is still limited, so our experience can only help improve it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
