BTW - I have spend a long time ( 1+ year ) working for the startup that is specialized in writing localization software.

Could you please explain what do you mean by 'some differences' ? When localizing some document we can say that there is 2 kinds of changes: 1. Changing the content ( translating it ;-) 2. Changing the layout ( for example, because words have different leght in different languages ). Do I understand right that you are talking about (2) ? ( If you are talking about (1) - the way you are doing it looks suspicious to me and I can explain why.). > So I want: > hierarchy.xsl - my 'MASTER' language independent stylesheet. > create_languages.xsl - which is applied to hierarchy.xsl (and others) to > create: > > hierarchy.EN.xsl > hierarchy.DE.xsl > hierarchy.FR.xsl > hierarchy.NL.xsl > etc. ad nauseum. > > So good reasons where my 'code' is 'data'. Are you sure you can not do the same, using hierarhy.xml instead of hierarhy.xsl ? ( That was my point. And this invariant is always possible.) Rgds.Paul.
