We need a solution for language-sensitive title and description. Here proposal for DE(title and description)-block:

<title>Hubzilla verbindet Menschen</title>
<meta name="description" content="Hubzilla ist eine leistungsfähige Plattform für die Erstellung von Websites mit dem dezentralen Identität-Feature, Kommunikation und Berechtigungskonzept basierend auf der weitverbreiteten Webserver-Technology." />

I don't know, how I can include DE(title an description)-block in hubzilla-project-layout-script. Title and description are very important for SERP-ranking.
en-translation: <title>Hubzilla connected People</title>

My JavaScript solution hides and shows classes, so I bet all we need to do is apply the class "hz-lang-de" to your title and "hz-lang-en" to the English one. I'll test it out.

On second thought, I don't think we need to translate the title. We' should just keep it simple: "Hubzilla".

The meta tag information is another issue that I don't know much about. Can you just put multiple meta tags with all the different translations?

Mean you so?

<title class="hz-lang-de">Hubzilla verbindet Menschen</title>
<meta class="hz-lang-de" name="description" content="Hubzilla ist eine leistungsfähige Plattform für die Erstellung von Websites mit dem dezentralen Identität-Feature, Kommunikation und Berechtigungskonzept basierend auf der weitverbreiteten Webserver-Technology." />

I did mean that in my first comment, but then I changed my mind because I don't think that works in this case. The title is not something you can hide and show like an element in the <body>, and we don't need to have anything other than "Hubzilla" as the title. The <meta> tag is something I don't know about, but that is also not something you can show/hide.

Ooh, I see, that I can on my Channel autonomously the title-text (also for hubzilla-website-project) edit, namely in /webpages/ -menu. Here my title-Version https://hub.libranet.de/page/nmoplus/hubzilla-project :).

Of course! All of this discussion has been in the context of building the official project page at hubzilla.org. You are free to do whatever you want on your own website. Isn't decentralization and freedom great? Facebook and Twitter users can't even control what they see in their own network streams...

But handicap of my edit-workaround is, that with this workaround I get none language-sensitive hubzilla-project-title-text :|. For robust language-sensitive hubzilla-project-title-solution need we one support for this solution in hubzilla-project-layout-template. I have no comanche description language know.how, so that I can develop this language-sensitive solution.
