Nothing is ``already done'' in the current Emacs. Info files, at
least originally, were pure ASCII files by design, because Info
readers could not cope with non-ASCII characters. If we want to
display such characters as their non-ASCII equivalents, we need to do
this in Emacs.
Personally, I don't like the idea of Emacs converting Info files for
display. At the very least, it destroys the formatting of the text,
and at worst makes the text all but unreadable. I think if it's so
important to us to have the names in their native scripts, we should
simply use UTF-8 in the Texinfo sources and use --enable-encoding when
we produce the Info files.
