Roger,
Have a look at
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200008/msg01300.html for
some ideas on internationalization. You can extend this idea to handle
your month conversions if your datafile looked like
<dictionary>
  <months lang="en">
    <month abbr="jan">january</month>
    ...
    ...
    <month abbr="dec">december</month>
  </months>
  <months lang="fr">
    <month abbr="jan">janvier</month>
    ...

Then to convert $monthtotrans from french to english abbreviation
something like
   <xsl:value-of
select="document('months.xml')/dictionary/months[@lang='en']/month[posit
ion()/document('months.xml')/dictionary/months[@lang='fr']/month[@abbr=$
monthtotrans]/@abbr
Or
<xsl:variable name="monthnum"
select="count(preceding-sibling::*/document('months.xml')/dictionary/mon
ths[@lang='fr']/month[@abbr=$monthtotrans])" />
<xsl:value-of
select="document('months.xml')/dictionary/months[@lang='en']/month[$mont
hnum]/@abbr" />
