There’s a hierarchy:
1. If you specify $gentext-language, that’s used. End of story. You want
all the generated text to be in Thai even though the book claims to
be in German, you got it. Why, I don’t know.
2. Otherwise, if you specify a language, that’s used.
3. Otherwise, the $default-language is used.
If there’s a use case for xml:lang="", I don’t know what it is.
Be seeing you,
