Yes, they are there. You can find them in the data folder.
ls $(dirname $(dirname $(gem which asciidoctor)))/data/locale
If you read the document I linked to fully, you would see that there is a link to this folder in the GitHub repository if you want to download them. There's also a link to an issue about making this behavior automatic. See
https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1129
The file is not loaded automatically when you set the lang attribute because it has always been left up to the reader to decide how to handle. The docs explain how to do that. If you can propose a way to do automatically that is backwards compatible, I'm listening. Though it's not something I have time to work on right now.

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
