I have found another problem with the current state of Maxima, which is
also related to internationalization.
I usually compile Maxima in Ubuntu with
./configure --with-clisp --with-sbcl --enable-lang-es-utf8
Until now, this configuration was enough to get the documentation in
Spanish via 'describe'. But now, the output is in English.
However, the info files are generated without problems, together with
the corresponding maxima-index.lisp.
In order to read the documentation in Spanish, I have to change the
value of *maxima-lang-subdir* and load file es.utf/maxima-index.lisp
