I am not sure what a translator is. I assume it's something that merges all /packages/*/info dirs into one single view of a /info or /usr/info directory. Please correct me if I am wrong. If this translator can treat /packages/*/info directories as a special case, and thus knows about running install-info to correctly merge the dirs file, then that's ok. This is exactly what unionfs is meant to do: some sort of agregation. You can for example say that /foo and /bar are "agregated" as a known (virtual) directory /package. Thus cd'ing or ls'ing /package will show results from /foo and /bar transparently. This is all the beauty of this translator (and the beauty of the GNU in general).
