I thought id's need to be _unique_.
Your example is not valid xml. (tested against xmllint with:
------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";>
 <book>

 <article id="a-10c0fa7-103d1dd5236--7c1e" lang="en"/>

  <article id="a-10c0fa7-103d1dd5236--7c1e" lang="fr"/>
 
  <article id="a-10c0fa7-103d1dd5236--7c1e" lang="de"/>
 
  <article id="a-10c0fa7-103d1dd5236--7c1e" lang="hr"/>
 
  </book>
-------------

and getting:
[...]
test:13: element article: validity error : ID a-10c0fa7-103d1dd5236--7c1e already defined

So to be on the save side your article's id's should also 
reflect the language.
