I am just experiencing this in Hungarian, which can't be considered a main worldwide language. in Hungarian pages there are a lot of English words, and this is pretty easy to be rendered by UA as far as English dictionary are provided with most of the UA. But what about the Hungarian websites' pages provided also in English with many Hungarian definitions and words? just a few percentage of the world population could understand the proper pronunciation of the definition. But who could understand the real meaning of these Hungarian citations if the webmaster have "forgot" to explain it clearly in English beside the original version? Could we take into consideration the possibility to insert something like the title element which could provide also semantic meaning to the foreign language proper rendering, so that information is clearer and even more accessible. I bag your pardon if you've already discussed this topic or if i am gettin' OT. pat ____________________________________________________________________ Miert fizetsz az internetert?
