There's in light! Ok, I must admit, I feel a bit ashamed not to have
seen this. It seems to be a typical beginner's mistake to try every
ugly hack to make a thing worked as planned and to overlook all the
other simple options at the same time!
Thanks a lot guys!

Hi,
I'm sorry that I can't directly answer your question but I don't
understand the logic you are trying to lay out in your <xsl:if> test.
I understand what you want to do, I just don't see how you can accomplish
what you want. The reason is that, as far as I knew, when you have a
template matching BlogInfo, every single BlogInfo is going to be tested
and so as long as your default language exists it will always be true.
Forgive me if that's a stupid statement on my part. :(
I was hoping the stylesheet below might be of help? It shows a simpler
logic flow, where at the top level, the BlogInfos level, you decide which
BlogInfo to display. I don't know what constraints you are working under
w/re to the template matches, but I would hope you could make use of this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:param name="selectedLanguage" select="'de'"/>
<xsl:param name="defaultLanguage" select="'en'"/>
<xsl:template match="BlogInfos">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./BlogInfo[(_at_)lang=$selectedLanguage]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="BlogInfo[(_at_)lang=$selectedLanguage]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="BlogInfo[(_at_)lang=$defaultLanguage]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BlogInfo">
<div id="IntroDiv">
<h1>
<xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
</h1>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="Description"/>
</p>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
