Re: DOCBOOK: L10n of DocBook: I cannot get labels in French

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@pasteur.fr> was heard to say:
| Apparently, and only for the XML version (I didn't try the
| SGML one), the documentation of the DSSSL stylesheets is wrong
| <http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/custom.html#AEN190>. The
| only way to get french labels (I tried german, too), is via
| the lang attribute and not in the custom stylesheet:
| 
| <article lang="fr">
| ...
| <book lang="fr">
| 
| Note that it doesn't give french hyphenation in jadetex :-(
| 
| I just updated the Debian-HOWTO to reflect that.

Uh, that works, but setting 

 (define %default-language% "fr")

in your customization layer ought to fix it, too. Though that
may not be what the instructions say. Hmmm, I'll have to check
on that...

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
