xsl:template doesn't have a select attribute.
Do you mean xsl:apply-templates?

If $foo is what the user entered,

<xsl:apply-templates
  select="someElement[translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = translate($foo,
  'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')]" />

would apply the best matching templates for each someElement element that
has a string-value that is the same as $foo, case-insensitively.

Hopefully this is the kind of thing you're shooting for.
