Well, i added a context related improvement, that has not yet found  
its way into the recipe. It was in the thread called:
"Re: [pmwiki-users] MultiLanguage --- again (setting default language)"
this adds a class to the currently used language.

In addition to that i would wish (as we should make a wish list :)  
for a default language, in that manner, that the default langugae is  
assumed if no other statement is given. Makes it easy to throw in a  
few pages compared to having to manually classify all the others to  
the default language (as it is now). Maybe with a variable to switch  
on/off this behaviour.

It should relate (as it does already (!?)) to the XLPage inclusion. I  
mean if i include XLPageFr it should be (optional ?) so, that the  
page also shows french text.

Extended thing, as a note to the developer maybe. I put in my header  
the following (currently in the template):

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="$[en]" xml:lang="$ 
[en]">
and
<link rel="alternate" href="$PageUrl?userlang=$[de]" hreflang="$[de]"  
charset="utf-8" title="$[Page in German - Seite in Deutsch]" />

While this is easy with only two langugages. $[en] and $[de] are  
changes in PmWikiDe.XLPageLocal to the opposite.

Can't think of more at the moment.

And thank you for considering this recipe. Thanks a lot :)

Best Regards,
Tom
