    Hi,
    It doesn't seem to be caused by an incomplete translation, as the text in
    common/fr.xml in 1.73.2 has the translated text. When I test an xref with
    <book lang="fr">, I get the translated text for the xref. A more detailed
    example would help.

    Can you provide a minimal testcase to reproduce (including your
    customization layer)? Then we could also take a look, if you do things
    right :)

    If it's caused by an outdated or incomplete French translation, then you
    can simply "fix" the problem in your customization layer.
