Even worse, my "solution" only works for the latest release 4.8 but
not for the CVS version.  :-(

I assume that the locale problems are due to my stupidity.
Unfortunately, as you know, currently I have to fiddle around with
LANG because @documentlanguage is not interpreted correctly.  It may
well be that all those problems vanish once this is settled.  (Which
is not trivial; I haven't fully understood Bruno Haible's emails
about it.)


By the way, in po/POTRANCE.in two files are missing.  This makes it
impossible to translate the "see ..." in @pxref's.  I attached a
diff.

Tschö,
Torsten.
