Add language-dependent title/description

[saltydog]

Is there a way to set the page Title and Description in the template , depending on the language the page is showing?

I have the same set of templates for my multilanguage site, and I want to change head metadata consequntly with the language.

Create some GCB like "head-en_US" "head-fr_FR" and place {global_content name="head-$lang"} between or place to "Site Admin » Global Settings  » Global Metadata:".
Similar thing you can do with title

Thank you Peciura! Cool and easy...

In 1.6 GLobal content are multilang
put {global_content name="head"} in template and in Global Content you have "head" item for any languages


My advice, however, is:
- title is already multilang (in Main tab)
- metadata is already multilang (in Option tab)
- use content block for user friendly meta tag:

Thank you alby. Your advise is perfect if you need a title and a description for each page (that is what I will do when I find some spare time!). For the moment, the global metadata trick is enough.
