This is definitely going to work but is also what I was trying to avoid. And of course you can write your tags using as many different languages as you like, XMP doesn't care. > A workaround would be [...] > So the actual tags would be "7484567::en::dog" and > "7484567::sp::perro".

In particular the fact other apps won't be able to properly interpret this. Or in other words, f-spot wouldn't be really interoperable. Makes it a no-go for me and many others. Guess we'll just have to abandon the idea of multilingual tags until the World is ready.
