Hi Pascal, > I Have a XSL as : > > <xsl:variable name="N" > > <xsl:value-of select="translate(/Legende, ''', '''' ) " /> > </xsl:variable> > > I want to translate my " isn't " as " isn''t" The translate() function only works for translating single characters into other single characters - you can't use it to replace a single character with more than one character as you're doing here. Instead, you have to use a recursive named template. If it finds an apostrophe in the string, it gives (a) the string before the apostrophe (b) two apostrophes and (c) whatever you get if you call the template on the string after the apostrophe. If it doesn't find an apostrophe in the string, it just gives you the string: <xsl:template name="escape-apos"> <xsl:param name="string" /> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test='contains($string, "'")'> <xsl:value-of select='substring-before($string, "'")' /> <xsl:text>''</xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="escape-apos"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select='substring-after($string, "'")' /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$string" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
