If you generate html, do you have "nächstes" or "Next"?

Maybe make info used a unpatched makeinfo?

More probably I forgot to adjust some strings, eg Function:

grep Function *
defun.c:      category = _("Function");

So there is a __ missing. 

I changed only a few strings where I was sure were they go:
$ grep '__(' *
html.c:        text_expansion (title) : (char *) __("Untitled"));
makeinfo.h:#define __(s) getdocumenttext(s)
node.c:       add_word ((char *) __("Next:"));
node.c:       add_word ((char *) __("Previous:"));
node.c:       add_word ((char *) __("Up:"));
node.c:      return __("Menu");
node.c:      return __("Cross");
node.c:          validate (tags->next, tags->line_no, __("Next"));
node.c:          int valid_p = validate (tags->prev, tags->line_no, __("Prev"));
node.c:          int valid_p = validate (tags->up, tags->line_no, __("Up"));

All others are still with _(...), so Function etc are probably not
translated.

Yes.
