Hi all. I was about to suggest some "translators" comment to be added, when I realized that it seems their are not being extracted from texi files when generating .pot files.
In theory, po/doc/local.mk defines target "doc-pot-update' that runs po4a-update which extract strings from the guix.texi and contributing.texi files and store them in guix-manual.pot, which will update all .po files in other make-target. I notice at least one occurrence: "doc/guix.texi" in line 117 has a comment that is clearly to be read by translators in the following. See lines below: ----------------------------- @c TRANSLATORS: You can replace the following paragraph with information on @c how to join your own translation team and how to report issues with the @c translation. This manual is also available in Simplified Chinese (@pxref{Top,,, guix.zh_CN, GNU Guix参考手册}), French (@pxref{Top,,, guix.fr, Manuel de référence de GNU Guix}), German (@pxref{Top,,, guix.de, Referenzhandbuch zu GNU Guix}), Spanish (@pxref{Top,,, guix.es, Manual de referencia de GNU Guix}), and Russian (@pxref{Top,,, guix.ru, Руководство GNU Guix}).
