The language is not the same as the character set. There are several character sets which can represent many European languages, and most European languages share the same character set. Frontpage puts a language meta tag which is just for the purpose of the spellchecker. In a browser it might help a speech synthetizer to use the proper pronuntiation rules. One think I can tell you for sure because I just checked is that Microsoft does not list 'lang' as an atribute for the html tag, so I wouldn't expect Internet Explorer to care about it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/html.asp?frame=true I think that what you are looking for is to define the character set, as I mentioned in a previous reply.
