RE: [docbook-apps] gentext problem

["Skopik Pavel" <Pavel.Skopik@aipsafe.cz>]

Thank you for your help.
Your example did the trick. I only had to extend the selection on the xml:lang attribute. 
This templete generates HTML files with navigation tabs (which contain table of contents, search form and index). So there is actually no node processed regarding the DocBook source files.

<xsl:if test="$generate.webhelp.index != 0">
  <td>
    <a href="#" rel="tab3" id="t3">
      <img src="images/iview.gif"/>
      <xsl:call-template name="gentext">
        <xsl:with-param name="key" select="'index'"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="lang">
          <xsl:call-template name="l10n.language">
            <xsl:with-param name="target" select="/*[@xml:lang]"/>
          </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </a>
  </td>
</xsl:if>

What is the current node for this piece of XSLT? gentext template
computes language for the current node, when there is no current node or
it is "wrong" you will get default language (en). You can try something
like:

<xsl:call-template name="gentext">
  <xsl:with-param name="key" select="..."/>
  <xsl:with-param name="lang">
    <xsl:call-template name="l10n.language">
       <xsl:with-param name="target" select="/"/> <!-- or any other
expression which will return node which has proper language set or
inherited -->
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
