I don't understand what triples would be produced by these statements.  It's
my general lack of understanding about how xml:lang plays with everything
else.  I'd appreciate some enlightenment.

Each rdfs:label represents the same kind of property (with the same URI),
and you can't hang a modifier or property off a predicate.  But you also
can't have a property on a literal.  Now if there were an anonymous node for
each label, with a language property alomg with the literal, that would
work, but the above does not define any bnodes.

I could also see creating subproperties of rdfs:label, like rdfs:label-eng,
but that wasn't done above either.

So how does this work?
