Hi

I have just translated my website so it's now in 2 languages. Both sites are identical and reside on the same domain (www.azuremarketing.com). I know that I can use meta data (<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="EN">) to illustrate to the search engines that my site is in a specific language, but am I able to specify that it's in two languages and if so, can anyone advise how I should do this.

Many thanks

Vicky

On your English site you'd have <a href="d_index.htm" xml:lang="de">Deutsch</a>

For your German site you would use: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de"> or the equivalent for the specific XHTML version.

There is another way but I cannot recall it at the moment for alternative content.

Thanks for racking your brains for me Robert - I'll give it a shot.
