Hi Chris!
Things like this normally go to the `projekt oekonux.de' list. But
then ;-) ...
Thanks for your inspiring ideas :-) .

* Someone checks out which links point to English content.
If the links have this attribute added:
<a href="http://example.com/";
hreflang="en"
Foo</a>
Then it might make the task of automating something easier.
But this would be no valid HTML :-( .
And as I said: Someone needs to check the links. This is too difficult
to automate for a one time task - isn't it :-( .
* [Your idea here]
You could also add this CSS to the head (only works in Mozilla but
this is good enough for me :-)
<style type="text/css">
a[hreflang="en"]:after {
padding-left: 0.2em;
padding-right: 0.2em;
color: white;
background: red;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: smaller;
content: "[English Link]";
}
</style>
And after each link to an english language site you get a bit of
text saying [English Link].
For example the source for the first entry looks this way:
* Die {{[jump="http://openmusic.linuxtag.org/"]OpenMusic}}-Initiative
konzentriert sich auf die Erstellung von {{2:Lizenzen für Musik}}.
Die Initiative ist auf die Frage ausgerichtet, wie mit Musik Geld
verdient werden kann.
After the `jump' attribute I could consistently add another one and
produce (next to) any HTML we find useful.
I might have a go at doing this myself...
I saw the attempt you forwarded to me. Yes it works for Mozilla :-) .
In fact if all internal links _don't_ start with http: then this
following CSS would save having to code in all those images of the
globe for remote links (URI of image file would need changing):
Don't worry. There is no hand coding involved. For what is a computer
good for if not to do such things? Actually the `http:' prefix or not
triggers the picture when the HTML page is generated.
You can see the above in action on my home page (in Mozilla of
course), in fact I was inspired to do it from seeing it on the
Oekonux site:

I found this on
http://www.matterform.com/qbullets/
and found it a great idea. Of course I automated that :-) .
Mit Freien Grüßen
Stefan
