XSL Operating System.

[Amish Gujarathi <am...@gmail.com>]

Hi All:

Am using XalanC 1.10.0 in combination with Xerces 2.7.0, for Transforming an
XML to another XML.

Now i have a need to support different languages and hence need to support
different encoding. Specifically i need to support English, Japanese and
Chinese and i believe the encoding are UTF-8, Shift_JIS and Big5
respectively. Could you please let me know how could i achieve this for
single XSL file. An Example would be of great help.

I greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Amish.

General XSLT questions are best asked on the Mulberry Technologies XSL 
list.  I suggest you subscribe to that list and post your question there

The usual way to do this is to have one stylesheet which is imported by 
three different stylesheets, each of which has an xsl:output instruction 
with the desired output encoding for that particular transformation.

However, since UTF-8 can encode all Unicode characters, there is no need to 
use Shift_JIS or BIG5 -- just use UTF-8 always.
