Re: localization of info files

[Karl Berry]

    am I right, that most info viewers and converters (info, info2html,
    tkinfo, ...) will fail reading info nodes, that contain the Menu keyword
    in localized form ?

Yes, all the keywords (Node, Menu, etc.) only work in English.
This is unfortunate, but ...

    since install-info, which is part of GNU
    texinfo creates a localized dir node.

Oops.  Thanks for pointing this out.  Here's the patch if you want it:

*** install-info.c      5 Nov 2002 19:32:33 -0000       1.4
--- install-info.c      19 Nov 2002 13:55:52 -0000      1.5
