Wow that fast a fast reply! Thanks!

Ok let me reformulate the question.

In order to mimic the same behaviour, since for what I have seen, simply
adding the -a lang=xx does not actually work, that implies that:

1) I would espect that language definitions for labels were included in
the asciidoctor* packages. Apparently that is not so actually.
Why not?

2) since 1) it seems that I have to include language definition for labels
in my build chain. Where I can download language definition for labels
of all languages (if there are any, I am sure that somewhere there are
I ever emember to have sent you my native language strings sometime ago)
or have I to infer those strings from the old asciidoc language
definitions (lang-xx.conf)?

TIA
