Re: [xsl] Multilanguage help

[António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx>]

Extremely easy to do with the document() function. I don't have my XML
tools here but from the top of my head it's something like this:

Supose you have a XML like this

xml_pt.xml

<translations>
    <word id='Descripcion'>Descrigco</word>
   (...)
</translations>

then, in your xsl you should have something that tell what the
language to translate to, a param for instance. Supose you pass 'pt'
to it.

<xsl:param name="lang"/>
<xsl:variable name="filename" select="concat('/filepath/xml_',$lang,'.xml')
/>

and later on instead of

<td class="inici">Descripcion       </td>

you'll have

<td class="inici">
   <xsl:value-of
select="document($filename)/translations/word[@id='Descripcion']
 </td>

and that's it.

Of course you can pass the filename alltogether in the param and avoid
that concat().

This is not tested at all.

Hope it helps.
