This might not be exactly what you want, but it's pretty trivial to do
this with CSS.  In your stylesheet, you want something like (untested):

span.section-number-2:before { content: "Chapter" }

Basically, this tells the browser to put the word "Chapter" before the
number of a first-level headline (which, in a default setup, is exported
as a span tag with class section-number-2).

If you'd rather that "Chapter" appears in the actual HTML, you probably
want to use a filter on headlines during export.

Hope that helps!
 
Best,
Richard
