The include statement can't contain a dynamic value, unfortunately. You could include a stylesheet with a template that takes a parameter to dictate en or another language and call that, like so
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:include href="../utilities/master-public.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:call-template name="content-structure_Home">
<xsl:with-param name="lang" select="/data/params/url-language" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And then in the included file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template name="content-structure_Home">
<xsl:param name="lang" select="'en'" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$lang = 'de'">
<!-- Do stuff for 'de' here -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$lang = '..'">
<!-- Do stuff for other language here -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- Do stuff for 'en' here, default -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you have a lot of repetitive code then you can call sub templates passing the parameter lang down the chain...

It would have been too easy to use a variable... Thanks for your suggestion!
Indeed, I will have to rethink my structure (the content-structure_Home template is actually the same for all languages, only the master is different).

I have been trying to set an iclude statement dynamically (with the code below), but it seems that variables are resolved only after any include statements.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:variable name="selectMasterPublic"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="/data/params/url-language = ''"> <xsl:value-of select="EN" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise test="/data/params/url-language != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="/data/params/url-language" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:include href="concat('../utilities/master-public-', $selectMasterPublic, '.xsl')" /> <xsl:template match="data"> <xsl:call-template name="content-structure_Home"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>In the sample above, I am trying to include the correct utility, called master-public-EN.xsl or master-public-DE.xsl, etc, based on the $url-language parameter (which has values EN, or DE etc).
Any ideas how to solve this, or a workaround? Thanks!
