can you change the langage

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

as

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//FR" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

or any other langage or is it a fixed value ?

at a guess, i'm gonna say it's a fixed value, though really, i don't see any reason why it shouldn't be variable, aside from the fact that it would be a pain to write out a dtd for every language.

You can even use diferent languages in one document,like shown in the example below from the W3c specs:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/xhtml2/DTD/xhtml2.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2" xml:lang="fr">
<head>
<title>Un document multilingue</title>
</head>
<body>
...Interpreted as French...
...Interpreted as US English...
...Interpreted as French again...
...French text interrupted bysome
JapaneseFrench begins here again...
</body>
</html>

thak you !

and 3 small question on the subject

1) can you use many title, keywords, descriptiom

<title xml:lang="en">...a title here</title>

<title xml:lang="fr">...Un titre ici</title>

?

2) what is better

xml:lang="en" or only lang="en" ?

3) <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr" lang="fr">

why do you find on w3 the 2 attributes of langage , xml:lang="fr" l and ang="fr" )

thank you again !
