Murthy,
For starters, I think you would want to utilize the xml:lang attribute
in the XML documents - in other words, repeat the text in the multiple
languages as needed and mark them accordingly. For example (pardon my
lack of French):
<MyText>
<Text xml:lang="fr">French goes here</Text>
<Text xml:lang="it">Italiano e' qui</Text>
<Text xml:lang="en">English goes here</Text>
</MyText>
Next, you would create an XSLT stylesheet to select the proper element
based on the language:
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:template match="Text">
<MyText>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test='lang("fr")'>
<xsl:Text>French version: </xsl:Text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='lang("it")'>
<xsl:Text>Italian version: </xsl:Text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='lang("en")'>
<xsl:Text>English version: </xsl:texT>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</MyText>
</xsl:template>
Hope that helps,
