For DocBook related questions you should use docbook-apps and
docbook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This list is dedicated to general XSLT and
XSL-FO question. Anyway I will answer, but I would suggest you to send
your question to docbook-apps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Uhm, don't understand your question

All fixed text emitted by the DocBook stylesheets is localized,
currently into 59 languages.

These are localized too

Uhm, don't understand your question

You can control directionality by dir attribute. Corresponding output is
then produced in HTML and FO.

Also localized to 59 languages using simple templates. You can override
templates yourself. There are some limitations in respect to Chinese needs.

Stylesheets provide three different methods, which are able to index
everything from Western European languages to CJKV langauges.

This is handled by formatter.

You can ITS with DocBook
