Hi there,
You might would like to try this:
<link title="The site in French" type="text/html" rel="alternate"
hreflang="fr" href="http://someplace.com/fr/";>

Here is also some more useful info about this multi-language support too:

If you are also concerned about Google and duplicated content issues in
such cases, you might would like to check this too:

Hello,
I had a question about creating multi-language web sites and best practices.
Is it better to create two separate directories with the pages and images
duplicated for each language, or is it best to try a database solution using
meta tags that will be replaced on the server depending on the language
selected? Maybe there is another approach all together?
I would think the database solution would be more flexible but could get out
of hand quickly just with the number of meta tags required. The web site I
am concerned about has to support 2 languages only (French/English).
Any comments are appreciated.
Regards,
Kepler Gelotte
