It is about the former, but it involves the latter as well, since the
Emacs manuals are installed in the system-wide info directory.  More
generally, the algorithms in info.el that search the pertinent
directories for a manual are designed to follow the conventions of the
Texinfo project that are followed by all GNU projects.  So adding
translated manuals must fit into those algorithms.
