You should move the 2 variables to the top (lcletters and ucletters), place them just below the output method.
Then, do the translate on your pageTitle.
The error was probably because you tried to use a variable which was not known at that point yet.

... or you could use the Exslt.ExsltStrings:lowercase() and similar uppercase()
library function. You can see available extensions if you click "Insert value-of" button, and click the "Get Extensions" button.

How can I call the translate on the value of the pagetitle?

Isn't easyest use css text-transform ;-)

Petr

I also want to do this to convert the page title to lowercase and replace spaces with dashed to create a class for the page.

i.e. Our Products

to <div class="our-products">...

Hi Rich,

There's an attribute you can use for that - the @urlName is very good for classname/ids, e.g.:

<!-- Inside a <xsl:for-each> -->
<div class="{@urlName}">

<!-- Inside root (/) template -->
<div class="$currentPage/@urlName">

Why are you doing this in XSLT?

Why don't you create a new class in CSS:

.toUpper {text-transform:uppercase;}

or call the class in jQuery

This question has branched into two different questions, actually - AFAIK the original question was something that was easier (and probably more 'correct' in markup terms) to use CSS for, e.g. when you want a headline in all caps.

The second question (added today) is actually something different - wanting to add a valid classname that's derived from the @nodeName (or pageName), which there can be perfectly valid reasons to.

In all cases - this thread should really be closed, so we don't end up with multiple differing questions ...
