What I am doing: I am trying to transform xml to html using xslt.
Question: The program is executing without any error, it is gproducing the output file also, but it does not transform the xml to html. My guess is that the for loop in the xsl is not fetching the data.

XML is very unforgiving. This:
<xsl:for-each select="language-list/language">
needs to be:
<xsl:for-each select="languages-list/language">
