If we don't care about preserving the commas, we could just translate them to
spaces to start with, and simply check for the space after that. Then it's not
dependent on a space being followed by a comma. Something like this:
<xsl:variable name="trans" select="translate(.,
'áâãäåèéêëìíîïòóôõöùúûüÈÉÊËÁÀ,', 'aaaaaeeeeiiiioooooEEEEAA ')" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($trans, ' ')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($trans, ' ')" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$trans" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

If I am right (if I remember correctly) the input doesn't always have
space or comma. So I would use the following instead (or the result
could be empty):
translate(replace(., '([^, ]+).*', '$1'), $from, $to)
Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes, you are right about the input. But the OP has, I believe (from
observation), only XSLT 1.0 and replace() is introduced as per XSLT 2.0.
The substring-before with the comma can be removed: if there's a comma
it is followed by a space. Just add the comma to the translate function
at the end, then it will be removed.
For the rest I'd probably choose something like this:
<!-- include comma, which is not matched, thus it will be deleted -->
<xsl:variable name="from" select="'áâãäåèéêëìíîïòóôõöùúûüÈÉÊËÁÀ,'" />
<xsl:variable name="to" select="'aaaaaeeeeiiiioooooEEEEAA'" />
<!-- with space -->
<xsl:template match="le[contains(., ' ')]">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring-before(., ' '), $from,
$to)" />
</xsl:template>
<!-- without space -->
<xsl:template match="le">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., $from, $to)" />
</xsl:template>
The second one is the more generic one and will be called by the
processor if there's no space in the content of the <le> element.
HTH,
