You may want to add frenchspacing:

#. type: Plain text
#: doc/guix.texi:7
msgid "@documentencoding UTF-8"
msgstr ""
"@documentencoding UTF-8\n"
"@documentlanguage pt_BR\n"
"@frenchspacing on"

I do not know if french spacing is common in Portuguese.

I always use “see @ref{…}” because @xref and @pxref are only
translated in HTML output for me, but not when running “info guix.de”.
The info command looks more right and HTML looks the same.
