We bundle the libintl-perl library, which isn't part of a core Perl
installation as far as I know.

It would need testing to see if it worked on Windows.  For example,
you can see the "Document sans titre" strings are translated below:

$ cat test.texi
\input texinfo

@documentlanguage fr

@node Test Node
@chapter Test

Translated.

@bye
$ texi2any --html --no-split test.texi
test.texi: warning: must specify a title with a title command or @top
$ cat test.html
