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.
