Re: [xsl] Simple (external XML) internationalization with XSLT?

["M. David Peterson" <m.david.x2x2x@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

I'm guessing this is just a typo as your XML parser would have
screamed at you before even getting to the transformation process. 
But just in case, this:

<i18n:string key="1">Rendered image</string>
<i18n:string key="2">Alt text</string>

should be:

<i18n:string key="1">Rendered image</i18n:string>
<i18n:string key="2">Alt text</i18n:string>

With the list of folks who have answered your post thus far I'm sure
if they saw it as anything more than a typo they would have said so...
but I thought it might be worth mentioning on the off chance that this
is a copy-and-paste from your editor to email and it simply got
overlooked by the others.  If this is the case, your not going to see
what you want to see until you fix this at which point you can begin
to debug your transformation if this in and of itself doesn't fix
things.
