Hello Ken,

> I suggest you create a very small example, the smallest you can make, that has a paragraph in it with the character that needs to be replaced.  Run this through the XSLT processor only and not through the XSL-FO processor and you will be able to inspect the XSL-FO stream for any problems.  You should see the character translated in the XSL-FO stream.

As you suggest I created a very small sample and a very small stylesheet file which do the job. Using xsltproc to see the XSLT processor flow.

In the result the only translated characters are those who are in <figure><title></title></figure>. The other are not translated.

In fact it seems it work for figure/title because I customize "formal.object.heading" template. If I remove this customization in my styleshhet
the quote are not translated.

Here is my stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" 
	xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" 
	xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common" 
	xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" 
	exclude-result-prefixes="exsl d">
	
	<xsl:import href="file:/Volumes/Travaux/docbook-xsl/fo/profile-docbook.xsl"/>
	
	<xsl:param name="singlequote">
		<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="curlyquote">
		<xsl:text>’</xsl:text>
	</xsl:param>
	
	
	<xsl:template name="formal.object.heading">
		<xsl:param name="object" select="."/>
		<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" text-align="center">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="title.markup"/>
		</fo:block> 
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template match="d:title//text()|d:para//text()" mode="no.anchor.mode">
		<xsl:value-of select="translate(.,$singlequote,$curlyquote)"/>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And my little sample :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<chapter  xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:lang="en">
	<title>Test 'as is'</title>
	<para>
		This software is provided 'as is'.
		<figure xml:id="test">
			<title>This software is provided 'as is'</title>
			<mediaobject>
				<imageobject conformance="fo-xep">
					<imagedata fileref="images/warning.svg" align="center" format="svg" scalefit="1" width="75%"/>
				</imageobject>
			</mediaobject>
		</figure>
	</para>
</chapter>

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards,
Jacques
