I made a template for replacing strings with translated value using
the lookup table. The lookup table is included in the template, so I
can access it with
document('')
But since there usually over 10 strings that have to be translated on
a single page, I think it's not efficient to call document('') 10
times.
False ... the processor is obliged to cache the document tree created
by the document() function.
Is there a way to copy the value of document('')/*/trans:tr to a
variable and then access that variable 10 times?
Can a variable hold the node set?
Yes:
<xsl:variable name="trs" select="document('')/*/trans:tr"/>
Would this make sense?
Yes because then you aren't traversing the in-memory tree. So you
may be saving time on accessing the tree, but you won't be saving
time on accessing the document.
If yes, then how can I change this template?
From the snippet I see I would make the variable $trs (above) global.
Or even go one level farther down the tree:
<xsl:variable name="trstrings" select="document('')/*/trans:tr/tr_string"/>
Then:
<xsl:value-of select="$trstrings[(_at_)str=$str]/*[local-name()=$toLang]"/>
I hope this helps.
