* Please not that with release 4.8-7 the behaviour of makeinfo with respect
to locales has changed. Up to 4.8-6 the locale settings of the calling
environment influenced the output of makeinfo as several strings which are
put into the output file(s) of makeinfo were translated using the current
locale settings.
Now makeinfo will ignore the locale settings for the output of these
strings. If you want to have localized strings in your output files of
makeinfo, please use the new option --document-language to makeinfo.
Currently the command @documentlanguage in the texinfo input files is not
honored, this will be fixed in the future.

Karl answered yes, and I will include his fix into the next-next version -8.
