RE: Error message when match=$variable




concat('$german/',$currentname) didn't turn out to be the saviour I hoped it
would be.

<xsl:value-of select="concat('$german/',$currentname)" /> simple returns the
string rather than the node which the string refers to.

ie.
$german/ld-hello rather than 'Hallo'
or
$german/ld-goodbye rather than 'Lebe wohl'


So I've muddled around with it some more but am unable to find the solution.

I humbly come once again in search of wisdom from the xsl-list.

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:variable name="currentname" select="name()" />
&lt;<xsl:value-of select="$currentname" />&gt;<xsl:value-of select="."

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="concat('$german/',$currentname)">
		Please Translate
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		Already translated to <xsl:value-of
select="concat('$german/',$currentname)" />
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
