For its incomparable ease (and speed) of being read within emacs, its
simplicity and its capability to produce nice printed output, I'd like to
make Texinfo the base of my whole documentation system (non-technical,
rather humanities oriented). Is there a way to achieve a language switching
mechanism within Texinfo the same way the babel package does for LaTeX?
I've heard of i18n of Texinfo, but does this just mean processing of latin1
encoded (accents) texts, or is it possible to have several languages (and
with them proper hyphenation when printed) in one Texinfo document. Can i
simply use babel with the Texinfo macro packakge?

Thanks for any hints.

Gerald
