The result is not valid XHTML.  I will just call it SXML now, which is
what the Haunt info manual calls it.

I don’t know how best to integrate step-by-step instructions.  While
the TP has instructions
<https://translationproject.org/html/translators.html>, they seem more
intimidating to me than, as a first step, talking to the helpful
people at the TP.  A few steps also describe how to disclaim
copyright, which Guix does not ask for anyway.

I propose the attached blog post draft if noone objects, taking into
account Ludo’s helpful suggestions.  Is it missing anything
interesting about the i18n system?

Should I add it to the website as a draft?  I suppose no, I suppose I
should just publish it as-is once guix-website.pot is at the TP.

Regards,
Florian
