Multiple languages

I am toying with the idea of having multiple languages in the same page.
Is this not advisable?

ie is it prudent to have english + greek when the encoding of the page is in english?

<code><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”></code>

Re: Multiple languages

Perhaps these will help?

How much Greek versus English are we talking about? English with Greek here and there? Greek with English here and there? half-n-half…?

half and half…
Maybe it is the wrong thing and the best way might be to create a greek section with its own encoding. It is just that the entries will double.

Re: Multiple languages

colak, you should consider Inspired’s approach to the bi-lingual thing. I think this is the most elegant solution presented yet. I’ve been meaning to do it myself but have other priorities at the moment.
