Incorrect!
The above invocation of translate() replaces every single comma with
itself. Any character in the third argument, which does not match a
character from the second argument (has greater offset than the length
of the second argument) is simply ignored. So the space following the
comma in the third argument of the translate() specified above will be
simply ignored.
The following sources describe the behaviour of the translate()
function:
[1] Michael Kay's book
[2] The XPath 1.0 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-translate
Hope this helped.
