[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

FYI - -

info guix appears to be defaulting to the Spanish version.

A .en version not listed as an option.

guix.de     guix.es     guix.fr     guix.ru     guix.zh_CN  are the option
available on my Linux system.

BTW - - thanks for your work on guix.   Very nice!!!

This is a duplicate of <https://bugs.gnu.org/78134>;
the solution is to write

info "(guix)"

I have asked for advice on
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2025-05/index.html>
if this is a bug in Guix’ Debian package or in info.

Regards,
Florian

To my surprise, this has been fixed in Guix by writing a @direntry
of Guix.es instead of Guix in the Spanish manual, thanks to a hint by
Texinfo developers
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2025-05/msg00013.html>.

Then the command

info guix

works again.

The fix will be visible only after the next resync from the Weblate
translation system and afterwards Debian/Ubuntu package update (perhaps
after the next Guix release maybe?), so it will take some time.

Closing.  Thank you both, JU and nomike, for making me ask Texinfo devs.

Regards,
Florian
