  'debian-reference', is a 'metapackage',  install 'all'
  translations of 'debian-reference'.. English, Portuguese, German,
  Spanish.. etc

  But if you only want your language, by example English, you must
  install 'debian-reference-en'.

  If you try 'apt-cache search debian-reference', you can see all the
  packages translations.

  Imagine, you want english translation, the steps are:

  apt-get update (the last version)

  apt-get install debian-reference-en (install the package)

  now, you can use 'dpkg -l package_name' to see all files and
  locations.

  In Debian, all the documentation is in '/usr/share/doc/'. 

  For 'debian-reference-en' would be in:
  '/usr/share/doc/debian-reference-en/'
