Hi Tee,

Personally I think it is an accessibility issue to mix two languages on the
same page. I am just curious why you did that. If it is a requirement, you
can identify a particular block as being in a different language by using
the lang attribute on that one block. Then use the lang attribute on the
html tag to identify the main language of the page (
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#changes-in-lang ) .

I currently am working on a multilingual site myself. It is not live but you
can see it at ( http://lafermerie.neighborwebmaster.com ). The links on the
lower right allow you to switch between languages. I am using UTF-8 and
setting the lang attribute based on the currently selected language.

Regards,
Kepler Gelotte
