Thank you very much!  Actually, I am new to both Guix and Guile Scheme,
but if I can be of any help, I would be happy to try to contribute.

Two points of concern at this time are as follows:

* My current understanding of Guix's internationalization process is
  that translations are updated on Weblate and that translated documents
  are generated with po4a.  It seems that the current file structure and
  options should not be changed significantly after the change.

* A configuration file must be given to the integrated po4a command.  In
  the long run, there might be a room to consider how this configuration
  file should be managed, i.e., whether it should be automatically
  generated by Guile or updated manually.  (At this point, the file
  structure is simple enough that the latter might be enough.)

Anyway, I will try to think about how to update the process.

Sincerely,
gemmaro
