It's old, but I found this article from Mark Galassi at Cygnus very
useful to get started with DocBook

I generally use the DSSSL stylesheets (Debian package docbook-dsssl),
documentation on customizing them can be found here:

As far as I know, the DSSSL stylesheets really aren't well suited to
internationalization. On the other hand, the less mature XSL
stylesheets (Debian package docbook-xsl) have internationalization
support as one of its stated design goals. You might be better off
working with those. Find more info here:

I hope the above is useful to you.
There is also an excellent mailing list for docbook-specific
questions, more info here:
