You might want to look at SmartDoc:
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~dp8t-asm/java/tools/SmartDoc/
You can create blocks with different lang="..." attributes so that the
original source may be bilingual, with monolingual output. When I first
started with DocBook, I thought that I could do that, but soon found that it
isn't set up to filter out only the lang="..." attributes of a specified
language.
It is extensible, so a SmartDoc --> DocBook filter shouldn't be unheard of.
