Firstly, you can't construct XPath expressions dynamically in standard XSLT.
You need a processor that offers an extension such as saxon:evaluate() or
dyn:evaluate().

Secondly, I can't see why you need it in this case. What's wrong with

<xsl:variable name="xpathDictItem" 
  select="group/dict[@id=concat($sgl_qte,$argDictItem,$sgl_qte)]/val"/>

(Except it seems a bit odd: what are those "%27" strings doing there?)

Thirdly, I don't know whether you can trust the caller who is supplying
$argDictItem, but if you do use xx:evaluate then you need to check that
$argDictItem doesn't contain any string delimiters.

> 	<xsl:template match="node()">
> 		<xsl:if test="name()!='item'">

Having a template that matches all nodes, and then immediately testing what
kind of node it is dealing with, seems a pretty odd thing to do.
