xsl:template name="translate_entry" match="*/id"

this is matching every id elementthatis a child of some element which is
probably the same as matching "id" (however you are calling it by name
in this example)

<xsl:with-param name="entry_id"/>

That sets the entry_id parameter to an empty string.


[@id='$entry_id']

You have the string '$entry_id' so that is looking for the literal
string $entry_id not the value of a variable of that name.

You probably want

[@id=$entry_id]

and to pass in some value for this parameter in your xsl:with-param.
