Re: [xsl] Using a node-set as a variable

"node-set" is xslt 1 terminology not used in xslt 2 or 3 but anyway I
think you just want

<xsl:copy-of 
select="document('yourfile.xml')/settings/parts-head[@language=$lang]"/>

assuming $lang has been set to "en" or whatever. If you have thousands
of languages you might want to use a key to save a linear search but..

Hi,



I am using an XSLT 2 processor and I have a template like this:



    <xsl:template name="parts-head">

        <parts-head>

            <head-row>

                <head-cell>Index No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Qty</head-cell>

                <head-cell>U/M</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Part No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Component Description</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Shop Order Section</head-cell>

            </head-row>

        </parts-head>

    </xsl:template>



I need to localize each of the <head-cell> elements. I would like to find a 
way to have the localized elements, or the entire <parts-head> element in an 
external XML file, so I can do the localization there. I do have a language 
parameter that I can use to tell which element I need. But I am not sure what 
the best practice is here.



I could have my external XML file like this:



    <settings>

        <parts-head language="en">

            <head-row>

                <head-cell>Index No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Qty</head-cell>

                <head-cell>U/M</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Part No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Component Description</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Shop Order Section</head-cell>

            </head-row>

        </parts-head>

        <parts-head language="es">

            <head-row>

                <head-cell>Span Index No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Span Qty</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Span U/M</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Span Part No.</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Span Component Description</head-cell>

                <head-cell>Span Shop Order Section</head-cell>

            </head-row>

        </parts-head>

    <settings>



and read this into a global variable. But then how do I insert the desired 
<parts-head> element into my output? Thank you for any suggestions.



Rick
