And what would it mean to say that a programming language was in a particular language? Perhaps it would mean that the 'computer' to process the language, would actually be a human being? I will hereby offer you a snippet in the form of hyper-link expressed in the computer language HTTP - not? - with rich snippets inside, inspired by a non-computer language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_languages >> The best they could do for a plain text document, > ... containing a computer program source code... > >> would be to send a Content-Language: en; HTTP header ... > > That would be inappropriate. HTML is also a computer program source code. My plan was anyhow to make a HTML version, to be read by those who read HTML. -- Leif Halvard Silli
