RE: how to do i18n with parameter substitution

Thank you for this, it has given me the inspiration I needed.  After a short
nap I was able to build on it and came up with:

  <xsl:template match='target/*' mode='parameters'>
    <xsl:param name='caption'/>
    <xsl:variable name='name' select='name()'/>
    <xsl:value-of select='$caption/*[name()=$name]/@value'/>
  </xsl:template>

George,

This is cool. Nicely done.

After sleeping on it I was able to answer my own question, however I
suspect that that p1 and p2 templates could be generalised to handle
any named parameter, but haven't figured that out yet.

How about

<xsl:template match='p' mode='parameters'>
     <xsl:param name='caption'/>
     <xsl:variable name="@name"/>
     <xsl:value-of select='$caption/p[(_at_)name=$name]/@value'/>
</xsl:template>

Then you'd need

<caption key='Client not on file'>
  <p name="client-no" value='123456'/>
  <p name="priority" value='99'/>
</caption>

and

<target xml:lang='en'>Client number <p name="client-no"/> not
on file.
Priority:
<p name="priority"/></target>

You've already done the hard part. Too bad the parameter
names have to be
in one language. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell
