Google has indexed a site I made and returns results from most pages  ... but none in the second language (only the English site).

I submitted a sitemap with both ?language=de-DE and ?language=en-US for all the major pages I want indexed but so far no luck (only about a month so maybe that's it?).

I wondered if anyone has any tips/experience with this.  Do you have to do anything in particular to have google (or others) crawl the other languages?

Yeah, language selector with plain hyperlinks.... I was planning to write my own as an exercise (nothing robust .. just for the 2 languages).  Haven't gotten around to that yet.  I assume you just mean with the ?language=xx-XX (or friendly url equivalent)?

How do I add the meta tag to the pages? Or rather, is this something that is built in somewhere?

I've done the google sitemap and included the pages with hardwired language links so perhaps it's just a matter of time.

Thanks for the input. (and btw thanks for the modules ... I'm using a couple of yours to make things work .. just not the language selector since that sounded like an easier one for me to practice my module development on).

Thanks Erik.  I've got that installed and in the my skin so I guess it should be working -- though I don't see the content-language meta tag in my html source for the page after it is rendered.  Do I have to do anything special to effect this functionality?

Also, I wrote a short skinobject as mentioned above for displaying regular html links to the available languages ... here for any who are interested.
