Thanks Michael Kay, i wrote one and it worked perfectly. See it below:
<xsl:template name="stringSpacing">
<xsl:param name="sString"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($sString, ',')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($sString, ',')"/>, 
<xsl:call-template name="stringSpacing">
<xsl:with-param name="sString" select="substring-after($sString,
',')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$sString"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Subject: RE: [xsl] replace function
e is get a string i.e.
"steve,john,peter" and replace the next word to a comma with
a space hence the new string become "steve, john, peter" how
can i achieve this using the translate function?
Although people have written solutions to this that you can use
off-the-shelf, it's worth learning how to write the code yourself. You
need a recursive template, it should use substring-before() to output
the string before the first comma, then output ", ", then use
substring-after() and call itself to process the rest of the string
after the first comma.
Any good XSLT textbook will have examples of this.
