If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, you can do this
using XML Script (http://www.xmlscript.org) like this...

<XST __maxCR='1'>
  <_data>
    <!-- Animals names to translate -->
    <Animal name="Dog" />
    <Animal name="Cat" />

    <!-- Translations -->
    <Trans english="Dog" french="Chien" />
    <Trans english="Cat" french="Chat"  />
  </_data>

  <!-- Template for displaying translations -->
  <_template name="Trans_template">
      <TD> # .french # </TD>
  </_template>

  <!-- Template for displaying animal names -->
  <_template name="Animal_template">
    <TR>
      <TD> # .name # </TD>
      <_process object="\Trans{.english == %.name}" />
    </TR>
  </_template>

  <!-- methods -->
  <_method object="Animal" template="Animal_template" />
  <_method object="Trans" template="Trans_template" />

  <!-- process Animal objects -->
  <_process object="Animal" />

</XST>

The output from this should be:
   
    <TR>
       <TD>Dog</TD>
       <TD>Chien</TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
       <TD>Cat</TD>
       <TD>Chat</TD>
    </TR>

Is that what you wanted?

yours,

Paul
