I have just designed a web site with Front-page 2000, the home page is
written in English but I would like to increase my international visibility
with translated documents. I've translated the most important pages into
foreign languages but I have trouble finding the right html formula to point
foreign visitors to the translated home pages. Basically I need a html
formula to point ,say, a Spanish web searcher toward the Spanish page. I
have inserted Spanish keywords in my English home page (and in the Spanish
page) and I have also inserted the following html formulas in the head
section of my English home page:
<LINK rel="alternate" type="text/html"
href="nameoffolder\Spanishhomepagename.htm" hreflang="es"
title="spanishpagetitle">
but it did not work, so I tried
<meta name="link" rel="alternate" hreflang="es"
href="nameoffolder\spanishhomepage namename.htm" title="spanishpagetitle">
no success either, when I search the web with Spanish keywords, my English
home page appears, not the Spanish home page. Why?
any suggestion?
thank you
Andrea

On <http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/> we are working a lot with dual-language
pages, and the link-functionality you are writing about works there.

In Explorer you do not get visible links on the pages, whereas Mozilla
1+ will open an extra toolbar when site navigation links are available

I hope you will find your needed help in our sourcecode - feel free to
look and learn

More information on the link element is availably on

By the way: this group is a Danish group, and posting here is preferably
done in Danish. International groups on the subject are (a.o.)

Unfortunately, one has to enable the Site Navigation Bar (SNB)
before it works. The default view option for SNB is "Hide always" -
it can be changed to "Show always" or "Show only as needed" through
the menues: View => Show/Hide => Site Navigation Bar.

Opera (from version 7) has an integreted site navigation bar - that
appears (default) on pages with supported link elements.
Unfortunately, Opera does not support as many elements as Mozilla -
the link to a different language version is not shown in Opera's
SNB.
