Re: docbook and xml:lang attribute

Dear Hussein,

Thank you for the time to take time to provide an answer and the different
pointers.

   - The intention was indeed to translate the words Chapter etc. to their
   Dutch (and other languages) equivalent.
   - I know that there are some (understatement) problems in the xml files,
   but I was not able to fix them all in a consistent way yet. I have to dive
   deep into it again. Your changes will help in this respect.

is there a reason why you have
      xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
and
      xmlns:ns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
the corrections have to be made in doxygen so doxygen will emit valit
docbook output. I use XMLMind as a viewer as it gives great hints.

   - thanks for the links to the github page of the stylesheets (most
   likely I will file a bug there for the multiple HTML files).
   - regarding the languages (like Armenian, Macedonian, Norwegian), this
   is probably also a problem of the stylesheet (or even on my computer?)


Best Regards,

Albert
