Hello Goetz and Micheal,
 That ok we can use translate function to change the value of a variable but
my exact problem is more complex. The contents of variable which I want to
capitalize are not know in advance (They are know only at runtime).
Precisely, suppose the xml is

<component ..>

<xsl:variable name="foo">

<!-- do dome processing to get the value of variable-->

</xsl:variable>

<!-- At this point I want to have the capitalize value of the contents of
foo variable (may be in same variable or in some other variable. -->

</component>


Since at the time of transforming the contents of variable I don't know the
exact contents hence I unable to figure out how to use translate function.
