Thanks Mike but I guess I was misleading with my question. Each of the letters
represents a text string, i.e., what I want to translate is:

if textg = "xxxx", or "yyyyyyyy" or "zz" then texti = "something"
if textg = "aaaa", or "bb" or "cccccccccccc", or "d" or "eee" then texti =
"something else"
etc.

I could have hundreds of possibilities for textg to translate to dozens of texti
strings.

Can this be done with a transform without a huge <xsl:choose>.

If they really are single characters then you could categorise them using
translate(),
e.g. <xsl:variable name="category"
 select='translate($textg, "ABCDEFGHIGKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
"VLLLVLLLLMMM.........")'/>
<xsl:if test="$category='V'">...
