It isn't arbitrary, it describes the language the content is written in.
This has implications for (among other things) what pronunciation
dictionary a screen reader should use and what an automated system could do
given an instruction to get some data if it knows what languages the user
can understand.
Thank you, wasn't thinking of that.
Meaning that if I somehow could get a tag on Word documents I could
stop that @##! Word spellchecker from "automatica lly" deciding what
dictionary to use for each %$@@! word?

Yes. And you can. The easiest way is to use Word's GUI for the task. My
Word is in Finnish so you have to press F1 for help :)

Search engines allow you to restrict your search to certain languages.
For example, you might want to restrict your search to English or
to French or to German when looking for the word "elf".
This will go wrong of course when the search engine is unable
to detect the language correctly.

First, the slash is wrong in HTML.
Second, *everything* called <meta http-equivis only a poor ersatz,
a cheapo surrogate, a plastic imitation from China. What you should
have instead, is the *real* HTTP header
Content-Language: it
And that's exactly what I wrote in my original posting.

Nah. When you have multiple languages installed the damn thing only
does "automatic" recognition, because "tools-language" selects them
all by default.

I don't understand. Are you saying that when you have multiple languages
installed Word GUI does not allow user defined language markup? I'm
sorry, but I have to ask: did you select part of the text before
applying the relevant language information?
An example:
I'm from Finland. Suomi is Finland in Finnish.
In the above text the word Suomi would be signaled as misspelled because
Word's automatic language recognition does not find the word in the
English dictionary. I guess that the correct procedure (using GUI) would
be to select the word and then change it's language to Finnish. And that
would end the (understandably mistaken) automatic recognition.
The code underneath the hood concerning our word before the change would be:
<span class=SpellE>Su omi</span>
And after the change:
<span lang=FI>Suomi</span>
HTH, Osmo

Yeah. Selecting the whole text does not allow you to define one
dictionary language for all. They say they fixed it in later editions. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi
I'm aware of the use of robots.txt and the use of <META NAME="ROBOTS"
CONTENT="index,follow">
However, what would be more useful is to be able to control within a
page which elements of the page should be indexed and seen by robots and
which elements are simply page furniture and it is safe to ignore or not

I need to make at multilanguage language site, and for that I need to
identify the users, and register there choice off language. For that i
imagine using cookies, since this is the only way to identify the
users. But from what I read search engines ignore cookies, and at the
same time I would like the users to be able to send links in there
choice of language to there friends, so I would like this sort of url

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
