Ok, here's a very simple and short example:

Somewhere at the top of the document i have my variables. The variables 
need to have different content depending on the language I want to use. 
So my XSL is a JSP file that gets a "language" parameter and includes 
the file with the right language.

When the JSP finishes processing, the result is a XSL with for the 
specific language passed with "language". For "en" the result is:


<xsl:variable name="text.greetings" select="'Username'" />
<b><xsl:value-of select="$text.greetings" /></b>

for "de" it's:

<xsl:variable name="text.greetings" select="'Benutzername'" />
<b><xsl:value-of select="$text.greetings" /></b>

and so on.

I found this approach in a book, and it seems ok to me, but if you have 
any other (more common, more elegant) solutions, feel free to post them ;)

Uuuhm .. how? How would you solve this?
