Yeah but for instance I barely use Info because I never remember how to
navigate and often I have an approximate idea about what I am looking
for and in this case, I am faster with the HTML documentation.

Well, the manual is not shipped with its HTML version.  And I would be
more interested to have an HTML version of the manual with the nice CSS
and friends than to locally have the manual in all the languages – that
I do not speak. :-)

    (Aside, from some sobriety point of view – avoiding to download
stuff that I “waste” – all these translated manuals that I do not read
is about 500KB * 5 = 2.5MB.  The absolute number is not much but at the
end of the day, times the number of “guix time-machine”, it cannot be
neglected, IMHO.)

Cheers,
