I would use xsl:if constructs.

I am solving language problems in following way:
I do not use attributes for anything what needs translation, but I
declare 
e.g. <!ELEMENT text (#PCDATA|trans)*>
Then I can either write 
<text>blablabla</text>
or <text>blablaaaa<trans lang="cs">asasssa</trans><trans
lang="en">sdsdd</trans></text>

Then you can use in your XSL constructs like:
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test='trans[@lang=$language]'>
  <xsl:value-of select="trans[@lang=$language]"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test='trans[not(@lang)] and /*/@translang=$language'>
  <xsl:value-of select="trans[not(@lang)]"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:value-of select="./text()"/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

Look at http://zvon.vscht.cz/ZvonHTML/Zvon/zvonHomepage_en.html for
details 
(click at XSL and then on generalTemplates_1_00.xsl)
