I can generate the en version both with Apache/Java/FOP and with dblatex.
I was having problems with the fr version with dblatex - if dblatex works
I would rather use that. I'm sure the problem is not with the
dependencies.
The problem (which is common between the FOP and dblatex approach to PDF
generation) is that sometimes the example scripts (or whatever they are
called) that generate some of the figures, error out. Not sure why.

Ok. I don't understand the issues with the Chinese translation, but maybe
it is worth submitting a bug report? In any case, do you agree using
dblatex (or some other simple thing) is reasonable for the other languages
like en for which it works correctly?
