translate() replaces characters one-to-one only.

I assume you mean mist in the German sense! Actually it's probably giving
you a UTF-8 character and you're trying to read it with a viewer that can't
read UTF-8: it's your viewer that's inadequate, not xt.

Presumably you are using xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1": in
that case there's very little Saxon can do with a non-iso-8859-1 character,
and the spec says it should reject it. xt, I believe, ignores the encoding
attribute.
