Using in xmlquery for string translantions

Question

I've have a requriment to replace strings id with strings (multi-language design).
For example I've an xml in a table with structure like :
<A><ID>2</ID>
<ID>3</ID>
</A>
and I've a table of strings which need to be replace for example replace 2 with test, 3 with error.
number of ID is unknown , but the place (xpath) is known.
I've tried something like the following :
drop table tmp_xml;
create table tmp_xml(a xmltype);
insert into tmp_xml values('<A><ID>2</ID> <ID>1</ID></A> ');
create table t(id number,name varchar2(10));
insert into t values (1,'a');
insert into t values (2,'b');
commit;
SELECT XMLQuery (
'for $i in /A,$j in ora:view("T")/ROW
let $my := $j/NAME
where $i/ID = $j/ID
return $i'
passing BY VALUE a
RETURNING CONTENT) res
FROM tmp_xml;
The problem is , how can i tell replace id value with name in the position I need?

Here's the best I can come up with...
SQL> drop table tmp_xml
  2  /
Table dropped.
SQL> create table tmp_xml(a xmltype)
  2  /
Table created.
SQL> insert into tmp_xml values('<ROOT><ID>2</ID><ID>1</ID></ROOT>')
  2  /
1 row created.
SQL> drop table t
  2  /
Table dropped.
SQL> create table t(id number,name varchar2(20))
  2  /
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values (1,'AAAAAAAAA')
  2  /
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values (2,'BBBBBBBBB')
  2  /
1 row created.
SQL> commit
  2  /
Commit complete.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> begin
  2    for i in (select * from t) loop
  3      dbms_output.put_Line('Processing ' || i.id);
  4      update tmp_xml t
  5          set t.a =
  6              updateXML
  7              (
  8                t.a,
  9                '//ID[text()="' || i.id || '"]/text()',
10                i.name
11              );
12       commit;
13    end loop;
14  end;
15  /
