I haven't tried it myself, but the cocoon project at apache supports
i18n. See http://cocoon.apache.org and
http://www.ucc.ie:8080/cocoon/documents/howto/howto-i18n-xmlform.html.

I don't know if this is what you're after, but as far as I know there is
no built in support for i18n in xsl, you would have to use some kind of
framework.
