You really should create a separate subweb for the other language so you can set your Web/Site language as well as the individual
page language (unique from the settings in the English language site
Then add language meta link to the users browser (and search engines) will know there is an alternative language representation
See

| Thank you - perhaps I was not clear exactly what I meant. The client has
| provided a complete translation for me. I was wondering about the char set
| and lang bits as you state in your reply. I am thinking about search engines
| specifically and being able to use the special characters with the acute,
| grave accents and circumflex for instance. Do I need to add anything in the
| <head> for example such that google.fr will accept my submissions when using
| Web Postion Gold?

| Thank you
