Though I understand how to set localization with a direct call of mw-render, I could not discover how to set a specific language in the Book creator. Any hints please?

According to my tests, the language code passed to the render Server is taken from $wgLanguageCode in LocalSettings.php and thus is specific for the site. This is acceptable for Wikipedia sites, as they are set up each for a specific language.

For a Mediawiki site with articles in multi-language versions the Extension:Collection needs a drop-down that lets the user select a language for the metadata strings in the book, like "References" and so on.
