I think you could solve this, with the document() function in your xsl. with : <message>Fred<msg nr="32" /></message> in your XML and a some others with localized entries like local_en.xml : <msg nr="32"> is sick today</msg> and local_de.xml : <msg nr="32"> ist heute krank</msg> and then in your xsl do something like this (sorry this is pseudo xsl, as I just have 5 days of xsl experience) <xsl:template match="msg"> <x:param name="nr" select="@nr" /> <x:value-of select='document(#filename#)//*[local-name()="msg" and @nr=$nr]' /> </x:template> where #filename# will be local_en.xml for english-output or local_de.xml for german ... and so on. Hope this is clear ?? Imre XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
