I would like to test (in XSL) for the ending of a string as such:
if the string ends with the letter 's' then append to the end an apostrophe, otherwise append 's . Would anyone please help with how do I build the string/ test for that.

There are shorter ways to do this, especially if you are using XSLT 2,
but here is one way that should show the steps cleanly.

<xsl:value-of select='.'>
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
<xsl:ifn test="substring(., string-length(.)) != 's'">
<xsl:text>s</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
