That was very interesting!

Fine.

What do you mean by "separators"?

I thought I had made unordered lists, actually.

Ok.

You are right. I am going to correct this later.

Should I use the <lang> attribute for that?

Where? After which words in English?
You wrote an image file but it is not very easy for me to read it because
the text which is shown is little ( and I am tired too)

This is a strategic choice due more to problems which have to do with the
construction of the website itself.
Some pages have only a version.

That is because I do not know from which page the user is coming.
He may have found the english page first but be more fluent in another
language

Some examples?
There may be cases where some specialistic words are known only to people
who are specifically interested in a certain sector....
Also, I only have a one-man business so I cannot afford spending much money
and I have to try to do myself as much as I can


> Let me know if you want me to look at the other pages.

You may do it if you want to but please, take into account that most english
pages
are under construction.
There are much more pages in Swedish and Italian which are already
available.
