Ah, I see.  What about mixing languages in the KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION? 
 Is that a problem?

From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-META :

-----------------------------
META and search engines

A common use for META is to specify keywords that a search engine 
may use to improve the quality of search results. When several 
META elements provide language-dependent information about a 
document, search engines may filter on the lang attribute to 
display search results using the language preferences of the 
user. For example,

<-- For speakers of US English -->
<META name="keywords" lang="en-us"
         content="vacation, Greece, sunshine">
<-- For speakers of British English -->
<META name="keywords" lang="en"
         content="holiday, Greece, sunshine">
<-- For speakers of French -->
<META name="keywords" lang="fr"
         content="vacances, Gr&egrave;ce, soleil">
