Correct this is for a multilingual website using an extremely simplified
"CMS".
The reason I am not designing proper metadata is due to the fact I am using
a CMS not programmed by myself, therefore I would rather not have to alter
its inner core, also, i gathered this would probably be the simplest way of
accomplishing what I want without having to use a db for each language
(which is what I am doing right now).
