The xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute should take a URL. You
probably need something like:

  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="trans.xsd"

to make it find the schema.

It's hard to say what's going wrong without knowing a lot more about
how you've set up the link between the XML document and the
stylesheet, and what processor you're using, and where, to do the
transformation. There shouldn't (I think?) be any interaction between
whether the schema gets found or not and whether the XML document gets
transformed or not.

Perhaps you can give some more details about how the XSLT is being
used (what processor are you using? client or server side? how are you
associating the stylesheet with the XML document? are you sure that
the stylesheet hasn't got errors itself?). For questions about the
schema, I recommend that you ask the xmlschema-dev list at
xmlschema-dev@xxxxxxx

Cheers,

Jeni
