Yes, there are many other differences, all French words were untranslated in my case. > What do you install when you make the French locale available? Good question, on a Debian system one can select the set of available locales. If one is not available, then calls to setlocale, or locale etc will not succeed. Perl would give a warning about unavailable locales etc. > Normally the in-document translations are not taken from the locales > directory, but from a list of texinfo specific directories. And their > use is not triggered by the locale setting but by @documentlanguange. This was my understanding, too, and I think this is correct. So I was *very* surprised that the available locales chnage the outcome. > > These two tests succeed when I make a French locale *available* > > but not set by default. > > Maybe we need a check for the available locales so we can skip those tests. I agree with Patrice that it would be a *bad* idea to have tests, or for that matter any level of operation, depending on the available locales. This should all be completely independent of the locales. > >> test_scripts/formatting_documentlanguage_set_option.sh > > > > This error remains, and contains the following diff: > > - Ce document a été généré <em>a sunny > > day</em> en utilisant <a > > href="http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/";><em>texi2any</em></a> > > + This document was generated on <em>a sunny day</em> using <a > > href="http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/";><em>texi2any</em></a>. > > </font></p> > > This is a mystery.

I switched now to fr_FR.UTF-8 (LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8) and re-run the check (make check) with the effect that I see: FAIL: ii-0018-test ... + diff ../../install-info/tests/ii-0018-expected-dir-file ii18-jGczxXVx 1,3c1,4 < This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the < topmost node of the Info hierarchy, called (dir)Top. < The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at this node. --- > Ceci est le fichier .../info/dir, qui contient le nœud le > plus haut de la hiérarchie Info. Ce nœud est appelé (dir)Top. > C'est de ce nœud que vous démarrez la première fois que > vous utilisez Info. ..... and similar for ii-0019-test (these are the two tests that failed).
