Hi,

I am using Saxon, and I need to do some i18n. Is there something similar to Java's MessageFormat in XSLT 2.0? (http://download.oracle.com/javase/1....ageFormat.html)

I looked at all the functions available but I cannot find something which would allow me to format a string with arguments like I can do with MessageFormat.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

No, there's no direct equivalent in XSLT. In many ways it's not really needed, because the java MessageFormat utility is just providing a miniature markup and transformation language, which you don't need in the XSLT space because you've already got one. I think the answer is: roll your own, it won't be very difficult.
