By the time the XSLT processor sees this XPath expression the XML parser has
converted it to 
  translate(Tag1, '"', ''')
so it's not surprising it has problems.

Best way is to use variables:

<xsl:variable name="quot">"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(Tag1, $quot, $apos)"/>
