Hello,

The last discussion about translated manuals, related to Info dir.

In the following LL corresponds to a full language specification, with
@documentlanguage, @documentscript and @documentlanguagevariants.

My feeling is that a dir per language should be the best option in the long
run.  A possibility would be to have LL/dir and either an explicit
search path set by the user, or set based on the locale.  This would
probably require adding some information on the document language
install-info can get from installed Info manuals.

It could also be possible to fallback to the english manual in the Info
reader if the language is not found.

And it could also be useful to have a virtual menu in the Info reader
where all the translations of a manual can be found. 

Note that implementation could wait a bit, as there aren't that many
translated manuals, but I think that it would be nice to have a design
ready.

comments, thoughts?
