Yes, there is. Norm has provided a customization feature to that. Put something like this in your XSL customization file: <xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/> <l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";> <l:l10n language="de"> <l:gentext key="nav-next" text="Nächste Seite"/> <!-- other customizations here --> </l:l10n> </l:i18n> Note that the language files now use the l: namespace. The trick here is the select="document('') attribute. This special syntax reads the current document (the stylesheet file) into the 'local.l10n.xml' variable. When the stylesheet goes to generate text, the stylesheet first scans that variable for a match before going to the standard language files. The use of the namespace prevents accidentally picking up any literal result elements that might be lurking in the stylesheet (unlikely, but possible). bobs Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
