We study the problem of update translation for views on XML documents. More precisely, given an XML view definition and a user defined view update program, find a source update program that translates the view update without side effects on the view. Additionally, we require the translation to be defined on all possible source documents; this corresponds to Hegner's notion of uniform translation. The existence of such translation would allow to update XML views without the need of materialization.
