  As a GNU maintainer I am informed about that; a GNU Project policy 
forbids to link to pages which are commercial-oriented or which 
advertise proprietary software (and I think this policy is reasonable 
and coherent, but that's another matter); surely there is no problem in 
linking to a page describing the translator project, if (a) it's free 
software and if (b) its web page satisfies the constraints above.
  Even if (b) doesn't hold for a given translator at least a link to 
the project tarball (and the author's e-mail address, if the author 
agrees) can be *surely* included, without any problem.

  In my opinion the best thing to do would be creating an apposite 
category in the Free Software Directory, filling it and then linking 
from the Guile pages to the directory.
