"EN" or "en" (or "En" or "eN") is correct, "ENG" is not. > <text xml:lang="RU">Russian text</text> > </cfg> > > <xsl:template match="cfg/text[@xml:lang = $lang]> > </xsl:template> There's also the lang() function that returns true or false for a match on the current xml:lang value, which could be set by a containing element. lang() matches case-insensitively and ignores country subtags when determining a match. For example, lang('en') returns true when the current xml:lang value is "EN", "en", or even my preferred form: 'en-AU'.
