Re: language

That is tricky. I would sugest following solution, which is not pure,
but after all, the result is the important thing:

Use Perl or different language to postprocess your file.
something like (I have not tested the code, if you need, I could help
you with this bit)
while ($source=~/<animal .*?name *?= *?[",'](.*?)[",']/)
{
$animal = $1;
}

and than look for translation in some table.
At zvon site I am doing e.g. changes from internal id in hrefs to URL. 
I is my attempt to mimck some behaviour of XLink and it actually works
magnificantly. If this did not work. I would already been lost in my
project.
