I think the OP was looking for translation of the content between
(human) languages.

The only other tools I am aware of are the old (but still perhaps
working) CITEC Translation Editor for SGML (not XML), which was for
Windows 3 and up; and an incomplete pilot I wrote myself for a web
browser environment generated by XSLT using Cocoon (for XML, not SGML).
The localisation industry doubtless has more tools, probably expensive.
