Hello list!
I am trying to make a transformation step but I can't get it to work!
I will receive an XML document with many nodes. Some of them may
contain the attribute "translate-attrs":
<...>
<img src="myURI" alt="translate me" title="me too"
translate-attrs="alt title" />
<...>
I want to select all the nodes that have this attribute and replace
the content of the attributes with the content of an external file,
like this:
<external-dictionary>
<text key="translate me">Translate me, in other language</text>
<text key="me too">Me too, in other idiom</text>
</external-dictionary>
Expected final XML result would be:
<...>
<img src="myURI" alt="Translate me, in other language" title="Me too,
in other idiom" />
<...>
So first we want to match all the nodes that have this attribute:
<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)translate-attrs]">
Then we want to copy all attributes except the one mentioned:
<xsl:copy-of select="@*[not (local-name()='translate-attrs')]" />
Now I want to do a for-each part which captures all of the terms
separated by spaces that are contained in the translate-attrs
attribute, and make an attribute by each, with the content of the
external XML file, but I can't achieve it! It would be something like:
<xsl:for-each select"@translate-attrs">
<xsl:attribute name=".">
<xsl:value-of
select="document($myxml)//external-dictionary/text[(_at_)key =
current()/@{.}]" />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
Finally, we need to copy the rest of the child elements:
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
Does anybody know how can I make the middle part, the most difficult
one? Any help will be appreciated!

After some more research I think I must use a combination of two techniques:
a) Recursive named template (example: "String split into elements" ->
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7240.html#d9570e343 ).
b) <xsl:key> (example: "Replacing a string by another which is found by
reference in the same XML document" ->
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7240.html#d9570e109 ).
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance.
