I had to deal with the same issue. Here's what I designed as a multi-language xml structure : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml"?> <PAGE name="the_html_page" content="shtml"> <TEXT xml:lang='en'> <LABEL NEW="no" label_id="1">the first english label of the page</LABEL> ... </TEXT> <TEXT xml:lang='fr'> <LABEL NEW="no" label_id="1">the same first label but in french</LABEL> ... </TEXT> ... </PAGE> and the following piece of xsl processing code : <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt" extension-element-prefixes="xt"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:template match="PAGE"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="TEXTE"> <xt:document method="html" href="{$page}.{$extension}.{@xml:lang}"> // the HTML code of the page with <xsl:apply-templates select="LABEL[@label_id='1']"/> // for inserting labels at the good place </xt:document> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="LABEL"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> You get all the languages packed in only one xml file. the "xt:document" command allows you to generate physically an html file per language. I'm already interested by a tool which could automate the work of separating labels and html code. I haven't still found no other solution than writing a perl script or doing it by hand (sigh!). hope this helps, BeNj > Hi, > > I'm a software engineer and am looking > for ways to make the internationalization of our web site > more managable.
