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.
