just to clarify
Is there a way to say :
"this character set is dc:language="fr" ", and
"that character set is dc:language="he" "
That way, a site with mixed character sets could specify two base languages-
and then you would not have to tag each word separately.
Take for example a Hebrew eBay- product names might be in English (if the
products are imported). It is a lot of work to tag each product name -and
complex when this is dynamically generated content. It is also obvious what
is Hebrew and what is English because the character set is different.
Would it be evil to have two dc:language declarations, if they correspond to
different character sets?
