Re: [docbook] Localization - How to overwrite a single property in all 45 languages

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
I don't know of a way to do it at the gentext template level, but it can be 
done pretty easily at the xsl template level.

To fetch a gentext template, the stylesheet applies templates to the target 
element in mode="object.xref.template", which is to return the value of the 
@text attribute in the gentext l:template element.  In the stock 
stylesheets, there is a single template in that mode with match="*" to 
handle all elements.  It determines the current language, checks for local 
definitions, checks for numbering context, and finally picks the best fit.

Because it is a mode, you can add your own template with match="section" to 
override it.  In your case, something as simple as this should work 
(untested):

<xsl:template match="section" mode="object.xref.template">
  <xsl:text>%t</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Since it isn't selective based on language, it should work for all 
languages.
