a few more questions...

What is the difference between localization, internationalization, and
globalization?

Can "alt" tags be changed based on the user's language selection?

Which icons and symbols are the most universally understood?

What is the best way to create multilingual versions of a site in Flash?

How can I make sure that my multilingual site is indexed appropriately
by search engines?
