For example, now I have more than 25 texinfo manuals translated -and published as html at gnu.manticore.es- into Spanish (Texinfo, Emacs, Elisp Reference and many more) and I am in the process of translating Find, Coreutils, Make, Gettext, etc. As I can see, it seems necessary to put two high priority tasks in the Texinfo todo list: 1.- Prepare Info viewers to look in subdirectories of $(infodir); 2.- Set up to install info files there in the first place. Man pages can do it, why not info/texinfo system? Suso
