It is as you say, the translation of @def* related to class names is done from within the parser. > Depending on how much we wanted to fix this there could be other > workarounds - could we call into Perl code to get the translated strings > and/or to change the environment?

This is a pain, but I think that the simplest would be having a call to Texinfo::Translations::translate_string replace translate_string in tp/Texinfo/XS/main/translations.c, similar to what is done already with the calls in tp/Texinfo/XS/main/call_perl_function.c for index sorting and transliteration of unicode. -- Pat
