I pushed the fix and made a change in the German translation on weblate;
the change for the French translation had already been made on weblate.

Hi,

<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/fr> lacks its PDF, and similarly for
/de (/ru and /zh-cn don’t have the PDF either, but that’s a known
limitation).

When running ‘guix build -f doc/build.scm’, we get hard-to-decipher
clues (thanks, TeX!):

I also see things like:

Two possible culprits I can think of:

  1. Some weird problem in the de/fr translations that would cause
     problems for PDF output but not for HTML/Info (hard to believe).

  2. A font issue caused by 1cde647cc05c640fbfa6f9779a0d7854bb90e153:
     that commit removed use of the monolithic texlive, which is good,
     but maybe the problem that were described in a comment there are
     not solved?  On this topic, Ricardo recently reminded me of
     <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/33094#7>.

Maxim, Julien, anyone: thoughts?  I feel lost in the dark here.  :-)
