translate() can only translate a character into another character or to
nothing. It is not possible using translate() to translate a character
into two or more characters.
For such tasks it is convenient to use the "str-map" template from
FXSL(...)

First of all, many thanks to Michael and Dimitre for replying to my
message.
I had actually thought of using variables, but besides the problem Dimitre
pointed out,
I've read that in XSLT 1.1 the value of a variable *must* be contained in
a 'select'
attribute, or else you'll be creating a result tree fragment, which in
XSLT 1.1 would be
illegal. In other words, if I didn't want to write obsolete code, my
variable would have to
look something like this:
This is not "obsolete code" -- you should have tried running it before
publishing such a wrong conclusion.
