Change nav item based on whether its a child of a certain parent.

XSLT
Hi, I have a multilingual site with an English node and a Spanish node, I'm trying to switch the "Home" link in my nav based on which document you're under and can't seem to figure it out using an xsl:when statement, any idea where I'm going wrong?

Here's what I've been workign with:
```
<xsl:param name="source" select="1062" />

<xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/DocType">
            <li><a href="/en">Home</a></li>        
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <li><a href="/es">Spanish Home</a></li>
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
```
Thanks for your help!

If your setup has two different root nodes, one for the english site and one for the spanish, a link to the root node should change depending on wich tree you are on. Example below with dictionary item for the link text.
```
<xsl:variable name="root" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@level = 1]"/>
```
```
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($root/@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem('Home')" />
</a>
```
You need to set your hostnames for this setup to work: Example add domain yourdomain.com/en with language english to "en" node.
