Bernard, this is an excellent question. Is this not yet another 
internationalization issue that we need to address?  I know the group that 
is working on the changes to DNS definitions are also grappling with 
language issues as well.

As a French speaker I'm concerned by the fact that we
don't allow properties that make use of the LANGUAGE
parameter to occur more than once in our components.

For instance, how am I supposed to specify my home town
in both French and English as the location of a VEVENT,
given that LOCATION is only allowed to occur once in a
VEVENT?  That is, the following is not legal:

  LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en:Montreal
  LOCATION;LANGUAGE=fr-CA:MontrÃ©al  <-- Montréal in UTF-8

Can we change our restriction tables to allow LOCATION,
SUMMARY, CATEGORIES, NAME, etc. to occur more than once
in our components?

Regards,
Bernard
