Greetings.
I would like to produce a static multilingual website in XHTML. Is it
possible to specify each web page in its own XML file, but have all of the
translations encapsulated in that one file, and then process each XML file
to generate separate language-variant XHTML files?
For example, say we have a file foo.xml which contains, in part, something
like the following:
<body>
<h1>
<only lang="de">Guten Tag!</only>
<only lang="en">Hello !</only>
<only lang="hu">Jó napot kivánok!</only>
<only lang="fr">Bonjo ur!</only>
</h1>
</body>
I want to be able to run some simple command-line utility which will
automatically generate four separate XHTML files foo.de.html, foo.en.html,
foo.hu.html, and foo.fr.html, containing, respectively,
<body>
<h1>
Guten Tag!
</h1>
</body>
<body>
<h1>
Hello!
<h1>
</body>
And so on.
If this is possible, how do I go about doing this, and what software do I
need? (I am running a GNU/Linux system.)
Regards,
Tristan

Use XSLT.

I suggest to use e.g.
<only xml:lang="de">
as the xml:lang attribute is the way the XML standards suggest the
language of an element's content should be specified.

automatically generate four separate XHTML files foo.de.html, foo.en.html,
foo.hu.html, and foo.fr.html, containing, respectively,

Transforming XML files is easily done with XSLT, there are several XSLT
processors implemented in Java, some of which have command line
interfaces, for instance Saxon: http://saxon.sourceforge.net/
Of course you need an XSLT stylesheet that takes the language as a
parameter, for instance the following XSLT stylesheet just copies all
nodes besides <only> element nodes for which only the content is copied
if the xml:lang attribute matches the outputLanguage parameter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:param name="outputLan guage" select="'en'" />
<xsl:template match="only[lang($outputLan guage)]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="only" />
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The stylesheet is set to produce HTML output but if needed it can also
produce XHTML.

OK, so I take it, then, that XSLT by default can't specify different output
streams, and that I would need to use a shell script to invoke the XSLT
processor on the stylesheet and source file n separate times (i.e., once
for each output language). Correct?
Thanks for the sample stylesheet; this is pretty much the sort of example I
was looking for to help get me started.

Tristan

With XSLT 1.0 you can't have different output streams and you would
indeed have to call the XSLT processor on the stylesheet and the source
file passing in the the language as a parameter and do that for each
language.
However some processors (like Saxon for instance) have extensions to
produce multiple output files in one pass.

Hello -
I am using Visual Studio .Net. I need an example of how to construct a

I googled this and either I didn't use the correct words, or there doesn't

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,
I am having difficulty getting the ASP.NET framework to generate valid

controls.
I consider characters such as less-than and ampersand perfectly valid in
user input. So I've disabled request validation by adding the following to my
