Thank you!  (Well, it was ng0’s old issue and people on the list
started talking about its topic again.)

We can, because it’s an ordinary POT file like guix-manual (but easier
because no Texinfo knowledge is required).  With the TP, there would
be many more translations, although often incomplete and in a few
cases wrong, but the readers will notice.  All the translators can do
is reorder existing SHTML, at worst misrepresenting GNU, redirecting
translatable links wrongly or preventing the website from building.
