Language name

Hi

I've another question for the XML/XSL module. In my portal I've magazines located in the same folder and with index based on XML file.
this works great until I've 9 different languages for the same magazine edition.....

Well what I did it up to now was to display all the magazines with the language displayed.

The new XML/XSL has one wonderful XSL parameter that's "current locale". I said myself: this is the solution, but..... in my XSL I've metadata like "English", "Italian", "German",....." in the locale I've "en-US", "it-IT", "de-DE".....

Anyone has a suggestion how to have this language name?

I'd 2 options:
the first and I think easier (but dirty), is to alter the XMS/XSL module to add this additional information.
the second is to use another XSL file that with (I think!!) a <XSL:copy-template statement can do the transformation I need.

I've no ideas if the second option can be done, anyone has any idea or siggestion?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Daniele

Re: Language name

Yes, I would use a global variable:

<xsl:variable name="language">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test ="de-DE">German</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test ="en-US">English</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test ="it-IT">Italian</xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>Klingon</xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
