For example if your language file contains error messages, such as <messages xml:lang="en" <error code="012" text="Illegal UTF-8 character in delimiter"/> ... </messages > Then you can index them as <xsl:key name="errcode" match="error" use="concat(../@xml:lang, '/', @code)"/> and you can output a specific message as <xsl:for-each select="document('errors.xml')"> <xsl:value-of select="key('errcode', concat($lang, '/', '1234'))"/> </xsl:for-each> The for-each is just to switch context to the differnet document, it doesn't iterate.
