Jarno - thanks for the suggestion.

I've worked away at it, but I'm still running into the same problem. Could be the variable is going out of scope in some way. Here is the actual xml that I'm working with (minus some attributes and irrelavant children). First File1, then File2, and then the template I'm trying to use. There are two terms, Monday and Tuesday, which are to be translated. My limitation is that I can't change the structure or add elements as this has to be fed back into an application.

thanks Ronan

File1

If you've simplified your source, then I suppose you can't change the source to use proper keys, instead of relying on the position for a match. First you want to know your position in file1

<xsl:variable name="position" select="count(../../preceding-sibling::terms)"/>

Then get the translated term

<xsl:value-of select="document('file2.xml')//term[count(preceding-sibling::term) = $position]"/>

For performance you want to replace the // walking with file2/translated, and also you might want to consider using keys: just use the preceding term sibling count as the key.

Cheers,
