I am not able to answer your question in detail, I'm afraid, I just
wanted to share my experience with maintaining a document in Texinfo
in a language other than English: Don't do it.

I wrote a document in German, which includes the german umlauts
(`����') and I had nothing but trouble. Even though Texinfo is 8-bit
clean and doesn't clobber the umlauts, it isn't aware of them either,
meaning that you can't use the "a style of writing an `�'. And
including normal LaTeX packages into Texinfo documents is something
probably only a TeX wizard can do, because Texinfo uses the @ as
special command character, not the \.
