You say you're "inserting string values into" the selection-list. What
implementation of selection-list do you use?

You are correct for basic form of I18nMessage. However it also provides
special constructors for passing parameters. So you could pass the
parts that shouldn't be translated as parameters which would get
substituted into the final string.
String[] params = {"Jason", "Steinar"};
I18nMessage msg = new I18nMessage("Message_Key", params);
<message key="Message_Key">{0} hopes this helps {1}.</message>

I may be wrong, but I somehow got the impression that would only work
if the entire label text is an i18n key. In my case each label typically has
a prefix part that should be translated and a name part that should not.

Thanks, I will look into that.

I believe that if the value of the "label" path is a
org.apache.cocoon.forms.util.I18nMessage (see the javadocs) then it will
write out the label surrounded by the appropriate i18n tags.
Another solution would be to create a SelectionList object (again, see
the javadocs... some SelectionList implementations allow i18n-ized
labels) and use the SelectableWidget.setSelectionList(SelectionList s)
method.

First, it's not a double-listbox as I wrote above, I had another problem
in my head at the same time and they got mixed up, sorry. (Though I
suspect listbox or double-listbox makes no difference in this case)
Here's what I do in the java class :
import org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.SelectableWidget;
....
SelectableWidget widget = (SelectableWidget)form.getChild(widgetName);
widget.setSelectionList(listOfLabelAndValuePairs, "value", "label");
Form definition contains :
<fd:field id="accesses">
<fd:label></fd:label>
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:selection-list/>
</fd:field>
and template :
<ft:widget id="accesses">
<fi:styling list-type="listbox" listbox-size="23">
</fi:styling>
</ft:widget>
display pipeline looks like this:
<map:generate
src="pages/cform/{request-param:pagename}/{request-param:pagename}-template.xml"/>
<map:transform type="forms"/>
<map:transform type="i18n">
<map:parameter name="locale" value="{global:locale}"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
and is aggregated into:
<map:transform src="layouts/default/xsl/layout.xsl">
<map:parameter name="template" value="../xml/layout.xml"/>
</map:transform>
<map:transform src="styles/{request-param:style}/xsl/forms-samples-styling.xsl"/>
<map:transform type="i18n">
<map:parameter name="locale" value="{global:locale}"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize/>
My "forms-samples-styling.xsl" is basically a copy of the one supplied with cocoon.
Does this make sense?
