We are looking for best practices for multi-language seo. We are interested in any books, message boards or blogs that you can recommend.

Thanks.

1. Make sure you're setting your location for your domain/subdomains/directories correctly in Google Webmaster Tools.

2. For Bing, you'll want to set the language and location targeting on your page, via meta tags or HTTP headers: http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/archive/2011/03/01/how-to-tell-bing-your-website-s-country-and-language.aspx.

3. If you're going to have duplicate content across multiple languages, be sure to read: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-markup-for-multilingual-content.html.
