HTML header code for multi lingual page?

Hi I had the following html code for a page when it had only English text:

<html lang="en">

Now, it has two languages content in it, so what html code should I use for this multilingual page? Should I just remove the code above?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there born2run.

assuming that ...

<html lang="en">

...is the main language,simply add the lang attribute
to those elements that contain a different language, for
example...


<div class="french-information" lang="fr">sacré bleu</div>

I've done it paragraph by paragraph:
<p lang="fr"> ...... </p>

Hi there Jonesy,

correct me if I am wrong, but are you not just repeating
a little of the information that I have already posted? :(
