Variable inside XSL´s for-each not catching value

I have a little problem with an XSL for-each and I can´t find the solution (yes, I know GIYF, I doesn´t help either). That´s the problem. I have this code

 <select class="gr">
    <xsl:attribute name="style">position:relative; width:350px;</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="name">organoDestinatario</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="id">organoDestinatario</xsl:attribute>
    <option value=""></option>
    <xsl:for-each select="$lang.options/option">
        <xsl:variable name="lang.temp" select="value"/>
        <option value="$lang.temp"><xsl:value-of select="text"/></option>
    </xsl:for-each>
 </select>

It seems to be right but, when I look into the option variable value, what I see is $lang.temp, so It´s not catching the value of $lang.temp but the name of the variable. Weird thing is that "text" is working and, If I change it to "value", It works and shows the value. So I´m sure that everything is "filled".

Any advice about It? I really don´t know What´s going on here. Any Help will be appreciated.

You need to use an attribute value template

<option value="{$lang.temp}">

or just drop the variable altogether and say

<option value="{value}">

Any parts of a literal attribute value that you want to be interpreted as XPath expressions need to be wrapped in braces. Anything not in braces is rendered literally.
