If you give us the Texinfo file, we can run gendocs for you.  Or if you
tell us about the problem that you have with gendocs, we can help you
solve it.

If having a domain for PSPP would help, we can do that, but I doubt that
it would help.  I guess that we should find a model for a program with
translations that is on gnu.org.

When you have a Texinfo version of the translated manual ready, even if
it is only a partial translation, please pass it along so that we can
include it with PSPP.
