Well, I feel I only deserve half acknoweledgements, as this file is only half done. > One thing is with the first file I started with: > lilypond.tely.

You may want to read Texinfo documentation to become more familiar with it; a convenient way is to run Emacs and do C-h i > Another question: Will there be a de.po file automatically generated, or > should I take the lilypond-doc.pot file and rename and translate it?

Maybe; the most important is that every node name/section title that appears in existing translated docs are translated in the .po. > How does it influence the docs if > the po file is already completely translated but the documents it refers > to are not? Will the headers appear in the other language then? It works on a per-page basis. A single HTML page is generated for every Texinfo node; node and section names (not only in the titles but also in cross-references) are translated in the translated HTML pages. See the French docs to get some clues (preferably in the docs tarball so you aren't annoyed by automatic language selection), it'll certainly be clearer than any long explanation blurb.
