Nothing keeps you from providing title and desc in more than one language: simply use the xml:lang attribute to indicate which language they're in. Since they do not have any effect on rendering there is no need to switch them, just include several, each with their own language. It's up to the UA what happens with them (e.g. showing up as a tooltip or being read out) so it ought to figure out which one it wants to use. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
