I doubt if there's a general answer to that. Both methods are possible,
though if your XSLT is in any way elaborate it would seem more sensible
(for reasons of maintainability) to have a single XSL that would pull in
the appropriate language components depending on a passed-in parameter.
This would also probably make for a better workflow pattern.
Translators/language specialists could be kept well clear of the XSLT.
