Well, personally I never read en/manual/ but always en/manual/devel/. :-)

And I have a short-cut (or bookmark) for opening
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html>.

Well, I do not have an opinion since I barely read released manual but
only the more accurate devel manual.

However, my preference is about =E2=80=99entirely on one page=E2=80=99 an n=
ot =E2=80=99with a
separate page per node=E2=80=99 because =E2=80=99entirely on one page=E2=80=
=99 eases Control-f
for searching. :-)

With this change, where can I choose the language for the manual?

The workflow would be,

    From https://guix.gnu.org/
    Click top right to language and select one, say French
    Then click Aide -> Manuel and it would open the manual in French.

so I would have to come back the front page to switch from one language
to the other.  Right?

Well, in addition, I would like to have a page proposition the manual
for all the languages, as we have now.  For example, these two webpages:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/
https://guix.gnu.org/fr/manual/devel/

serve the same choice and I would like to keep it somewhere.

Do you mean add an item to the list,

Hi

I often go to guix.gnu.org to read the (excellent!) Guix manual.  This
leads to this click pattern: guix.gnu.org -> Help -> GNU Guix Manual
1.4.0 which leads me to a page (written in english) to chose language
of the manual -- https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/ -- and when I chose
English I get a page to chose format of manual --
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/ -- and that choice takes a split
second cognitive load.

How about these changes to improve user experience?

1) The link guix.gnu.org -> Help -> GNU Guix Manual 1.4.0 goes directly
to the split-node https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/

  1b) The link could respect the language-choice for the web-site,
i.e., so if I'm browsing https://guix.gnu.org/de/ it should directly
link me to https://guix.gnu.org/de/manual/de/html_node/ instead.

2) Add links to the PDF variant and full-HTML variants in the top-right
menu where different languages are shown.

What do you think?  Then you quickly get into the manual, and there is
still a simple way to chose other languages, and to get PDF/full-HTML
variants.  I don't see any significant disadvantage with this change.

/Simon
