I am not sure I understand what you are looking for. Standard XSLT 1.0 
does not allow you to define your own functions. All you can do is write 
named templates and call them with xsl:call-template.
With XSLT 2.0 you have much more power, first it allows you to use 
variables in match patterns (meaning my first suggestion would work), 
secondly it has functions 'upper-case' and 'lower-case' so you don't 
need the cumbersome 'translate' function, and furthermore you can define 
your own functions in stylesheets.
Microsoft does not have an XSLT 2.0 processor but there are other 
implementations around, one being Saxon (currently version 9) from 
<URL:http://saxon.sourceforge.net/> which has both a Java and a .NET 
version.


With XSLT 1.0 instead of doing e.g.

   <xsl:template match="User/@advancedViewing[translate(., 
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = 'vrai']">
     <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
        <xsl:text>true</xsl:text>
     </xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="User/@advancedViewing[translate(., 
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = 'faux']">
     <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
        <xsl:text>false</xsl:text>
     </xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:template>

you might prefer one template

   <xsl:param name="ul"
     select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
   <xsl:param name="ll"
     select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>

   <xsl:template match="User/@advancedViewing">
     <xsl:variable name="lvalue" select="translate(., $ul, $ll)"/>
     <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
       <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="$lvalue = 'vraix'">
           <xsl:text>true</xsl:text>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="$lvalue = 'faux'">
           <xsl:text>false</xsl:text>
         </xsl:when>
       </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:template>
