It's also a matter of xslt programming, AFAICT :) I'm no expert but this is 
from what I know:

"profile.lang" is a parameter, which means it's referenced like a variable in 
XPath statements: $profile.lang. In your case, you can write the file 
inclusion in a generic way like this:

<xsl:processing-instruction name="php">
include ('../php/filename_<xsl:value-of select="$profile.lang"/>.php');
</xsl:processing-instruction>

It works for any language, and is less verbose than a xsl:choose clause, 
although that'll work too, AFAIK.


But I can very well be wrong,
