XSLT to XML transformation

Question

My task is to create a translation.xslt file that will use the wordlist.xml as input to transform into another XML file(translation.xml). I have attempted some coding but stuck how to do the rest. I am not sure how to create a <total>, he value of <total> is the total number of unique search terms available in the
dictionary, so it should give me 150 like the sample. I also need to add in a counter element that will group and display the value of how many <replaces> there are when someone searches a word.

Here is the solution of your problem: (I just tweak you xslt)
But one condition that the xml node hierarchy should be same as given in your xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'azertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn'"></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBN'"></xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="DictionaryNode"></xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="DictionaryNode">
    <Dictionary>
      <from>
        <xsl:value-of select="translate(wordlist/@from, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/>
      </from>
      <to>
        <xsl:value-of select="translate(wordlist/@to, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/>
      </to>
      <xsl:call-template name="intekhab">
      </xsl:call-template>
    </Dictionary>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="intekhab">
    <xsl:variable name="searchNodes" select="//preceding::search/preceding::search[not(.=preceding::search)]"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$searchNodes">
      <xsl:sort select="."/>
      <translation initial="{substring(. ,1,1)}">
        <xsl:element name="search">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:element>
        <xsl:variable name="curSearch" select="."/>
        <xsl:variable name="totalSearch" select="//search[text()=$curSearch]"/>
        <xsl:variable name ="countTotalSearch" select="count($totalSearch)"/>
        <counter>
          <xsl:value-of select="$countTotalSearch"/>
        </counter>
        <xsl:element name="replace">
          <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::replace"/>
        </xsl:element>
      </translation>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

for total unique replacement:
add second expression after the first
<xsl:variable name="searchNodes" select="//preceding::search/preceding::search[not(.=preceding::search)]"/>
<xsl:variable name="totalSearchReplaceCount" select="count($searchNodes)"/>

to display in xml add this line
<TotalReplcament>
<xsl:value-of select="$totalSearchReplaceCount"/>
</TotalReplcament>
