You have to use .po directly.

This is very strange.  Changing the PO register works only *after* the
first page.  Why?  At least the ms macros on Solaris behave similarly,
so it seems intentional.  Has someone an explanation?

I've just fixed the documentation: Only the hcodes of a-z and A-Z are
initialized by groff.

BTW, you did the following:

  .hcode ¿ ¿ ¡ ¡ « « » »

This is not a good idea.  groff now thinks that those characters are
letters also w.r.t hyphenation.  In case of, say, `thisisalongword«',
groff no longer finds the correct right border of the word, so it may
miss some hyphenation patterns.
