If you want to get correct Basque text generated append lang attribute
with appropriate ISO language code to the root element of your document.
E.g.

<!DOCTYPE book ...>
<book lang="eu">
  ...
</book>

This should be sufficient. If you found some errors in translations,
please send corrected version of files

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/docbook/gentext/locale/eu.xml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/xml

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/docbook/dsssl/common/dbl1eu.dsl?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

as patches to SourceForge bug tracking system.

Huh, now I realised, that my answer is to different question than yours.
In XSL stylesheets it is easy to change this by template, but in DSSSL
it is not so easy AFAIK.

Probably changing rule in dbcompon.dsl will help:
