    no don't do that, although it ought to work, it causes the
    stylesheet to be re-parsed. In 2.0 you can query into
    variables so you can just use $language-table  instead of
    $stylesheet.

Neat :-)
Input
<name code="de">
</name>

xslt

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="2.0">

<xsl:variable name="language-table">
  <!-- See ISO 639 -->
  <name code="ar">ARABIC</name>
  <name code="de">GERMAN</name>
  <name code="en">ENGLISH</name>
  <name code="zh">CHINESE</name>
</xsl:variable>


  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:variable name="stylesheet" select="document('')"/>
<xsl:key name="language-code" match="name" use="@code"/>

  <xsl:template match="name">
Document is in  [<xsl:value-of select="key('language-code',
'de',$language-table)"/>]
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Document is in  [GERMAN]
