Hi Annalisa,

There are lot of issues in localization, not only the language itself, but
also the display of numbers, the way the page is read (Left to right/right
to left and top to bottom/bottom to top), date display and more.

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/XSLT/Recipe/65427 has a method of
replacing language tags using an XML of translated strings included using
document()

I have developed an XML file of currencies with number display which I would
be happy to supply you with if you would like.

The pages I am currently developing use automatic translation between German
and English, although as Jim Fuller pointed out in his post, pre-parsing
will probably give a quicker response, with a folder for each language.
