RE: language

Hi Miroslav,
			Thanx for your repy.. well, you have a nice solution
BUT the problem is that I have an xml file.....
I read elements from the xml file and I generate a table with two columns,
one for the name of the element and the other for generating a textfield.
Well, I will use different xml file, they  have the same structure but of
course something changes between different elemens
Let's say that I have an xml file containing animals
<animal name="dog"></animal>
<animal name="cat"></animal>
<animal name="cow"></animal>
<animal name="mouse"></animal>
<animal name="rat"></animal>
<animal name="lion"></animal>

I will generate a table like
                
Cat	Textfield	
Cow	Textfield	
Mouse	Textfield	
Dog	Textfield	
Rat	Textfield	
lion	Textfield	
 
Of course I grab the name of each animal from an attribute, but I use
<xsl:copy> to copy the name into the table
How can I do something like your solution???
Keep present also that I won't create the xml file and the xml file couldn't
have such as an <!ELEMENT text>
Thanx in advance
Br
marco

I would use xsl:if constructs.

I am solving language problems in following way:
I do not use attributes for anything what needs translation, but I
declare 
e.g. <!ELEMENT text (#PCDATA|trans)*>
Then I can either write 
<text>blablabla</text>
or <text>blablaaaa<trans lang="cs">asasssa</trans><trans
lang="en">sdsdd</trans></text>

Then you can use in your XSL constructs like:
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test='trans[@lang=$language]'>
  <xsl:value-of select="trans[@lang=$language]"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test='trans[not(@lang)] and /*/@translang=$language'>
  <xsl:value-of select="trans[not(@lang)]"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:value-of select="./text()"/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

Look at http://zvon.vscht.cz/ZvonHTML/Zvon/zvonHomepage_en.html for
details 
(click at XSL and then on generalTemplates_1_00.xsl)
