Might have just been a translation typo.

Having said that Airbus has surprised me before: Vls, for example stands for "lowest selectable speed". Really? You don't select a speed, you set it. If anything it should be "lowest set-able speed"

Not that I expect the frogs to grasp the subtle difference between "selecting" versus "setting" something, however the translators should have known better.

Try to change it now...impossible.
