 If you construct your lookup table along the lines David suggested, you can use keys to rationalize (and optimize) access to it. So, try something like this in your dictionary.xml: <months> <month en="January" de="Januar" fr="Janvier"/> <month en="February" de="Februar" fr="Fevrier"/> [etc.] </months> Then, in your stylesheet <xsl:variable name="dictionary" select="document('dictionary.xml')"/>
<!-- This does nothing but make the dictionary document accessible
to the transformation --><xsl:key name="month-en" match="month" use="@en"/> <xsl:key name="month-de" match="month" use="@de"/> <xsl:key name="month-fr" match="month" use="@fr"/> <!-- These set up access to your dictionary --> When your source string is the name of a month in English, get its German equivalent by asking for key('month-en', $englishstring)/@de and, to go the other way, key('month-de', $germanstring)/@en This is a clean and easily-extensible way to manage the strings you need to replace in and out. Compress it even more if you know your languages will never step on each other: <xsl:key name="month" match="month" use="@en"/> <xsl:key name="month" match="month" use="@de"/> <xsl:key name="month" match="month" use="@fr"/> key('month', $string)/@de gives you German from English or French (or German)
key('month', $string)/@fr gives you French from English or German (or French)Enjoy, Wendell At 12:03 PM 8/30/01, Chris wrote: Roger, Have a look at http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200008/msg01300.html for some ideas on internationalization.... ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
