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.

Your expectations are legitimate though; I think it’d be worth bringing
it up again on bug-texinfo <at> gnu.org if you feel so inclined.

There’s not much that can be done on the Guix side so I’ll close it
here.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
