  24 <para>If non-zero, the language of the target will be used when
  25 generating cross reference text. Usually, the <quote>current</quote>
  26 language is used when generating text (that is, the language of the
  27 element that contains the cross-reference element). But setting this parameter
  28 allows the language of the element <emphasis>pointed to</emphasis> to control
  29 the generated text.</para>

  38 <para>Suppose that Chapter 3 happens to be written in German.
  39 If <parameter>l10n.gentext.use.xref.language</parameter> is non-zero, the
  40 resulting text will be something like this:</para>
  41
  42 <blockquote>
  43 <para>See also Kapital 3.</para>
  44 </blockquote>
  45
  46 <para>Where the more traditional rendering would be:</para>
