    Combine strings?

    I have a multilangual website setup, in which the xslt checks for the current language by getting the name of the rootnode. It then has to append the current language to a property alias. I've tried to do it with concat, but it gives me text instead of a value.

    So, I have a $lang and a value for $node/prodDescription and I want the the complete string to be:

    <xsl:value-of select="$node/prodDescription_NL"/>

    Is that possible?

    Some explanation:

    <xsl:template match="/">
    
        <xsl:variable name="lang" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = '2']/@nodeName"/>
    
        <xsl:value-of select="$lang"/>
    
        <xsl:if test="$currentPage/products/MultiNodePicker/nodeId">
    
          <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/products/MultiNodePicker/nodeId">
    
            <xsl:variable name="node" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
    
            <div class="dealer">
              <h3>
                <xsl:value-of select="$node/pageTitle"/>
              </h3>
            </div>
          </xsl:for-each>
    
        </xsl:if>
    
      </xsl:template>

    You can use concat, you just need to do the following to access the field:

    <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="concat('prodDescription_',$lang)"/>

    <xsl:value-of select="$node/* [not(@isDoc)][name() = $propertyAlias]"/>

    Not tested but should work..
