Little PHP question - GoFuckYourself.com

Hello guys,

Maybe you can help me with a little question about PHP...
Im starting to program myself, and Im now making one of my websites multi-language.

Can I use this code inside the <title> tags?

PHP Code:


			
<title><?php echo $lang['TITLE']; ?></title>

And this in meta tags?

PHP Code:


			
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $lang['DES']; ?>" />

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $lang['KEY']; ?>" />

Is thos good, bad or equal for SEO?
I just dont want to screw my website position on search engines... :-)

Sorry for the newbie question..

--------------------------------
EDIT
--------------------------------

Btw, Im adding this code in the top of my php files:

PHP Code:


			
<?php include("lang/en.php");?>

Im doing this well?
Or is better to use this?

PHP Code:


			
<html lang="en-US" ...

Or this is not to use to use multi language?

If yes, what is the code to show the text that I want?

Thanks!

You can do it this way, but make sure you don't get marked by google as cloaking. Be sure you have a language parameter in your url. Or use subdomains.

Thank you for your reply mate!

Yes, this is to use in sub-domains :-)
