The tutorials "An Introduction to Multilingual Web Addresses" and "Using language information in XHTML, HTML and CSS" have been decommissioned, to facilitate updating of material and reduce duplication. The information in the first tutorial is already covered by the more up-to-date article An Introduction to Multilingual Web Addresses. The meat of the second tutorial is covered by the articles Styling using the lang attribute, and Setting language preferences in a browser.

This article was largely rewritten. The background information was made more accessible to a general user. A command path was added for IE7. The text about specifying alternative language preferences was expanded, and instructions were added to describe how to create custom tags by finding values in the IANA Language subtag registry. The case of Chinese is discussed in detail, and a section was added about IE7's defaults, with a suggestion that users add an additional language setting.

Please send any comments on the new text to www-international.
