[tei-council] Internationalisation - two issues

[James Cummings]

Hi Laurent,

I've tried googling on .com .co.uk .fr and .de for 'addspan tei p5' and 
in all cases The first hit is the english one at:

http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-addSpan.html

I double-checked my search preferences and I have 'Search for pages 
written in any language' rather than English or something specified.

Can you confirm how you are googling for this (i.e. what site, what 
search preferences?)

However, it does make me realise that we have no good search mechanism 
on the site.  We could do customised google searches fairly easily for 
each of the language versions of the guidelines, couldn't we?  Or a 
search page which allowed options of the entire TEI-C site, the P5 
Guidelines (in whatever languages), etc.

Best,
-James
