Interesting post, just responding to the above for now.

I don't know the answer, but do have results where zero is enough! A
search for-

site:http://www.classic-literature.co.uk pages.html

Lists a lot of this type of page on my site-

http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/...orm/pages.html

If you view source they are either completely English (like the one
above) or mostly English with the title and meta tags with a foreign
language.

The one above and-
http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/...l-i/pages.html
http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/...-01/pages.html
....
http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/...-07/pages.html
and plenty of others are listed with [ Translate this page ] (listed
as French!!).

At first I thought it's the authors name that's causing the glitch,
the ones below result in the translate-

Abraham Lincoln
Arthur Conan Doyle
James Barrie
Edgar Allan Poe
Francis Bacon
Bram Stoker

These don't-

Christopher Marlowe
Thomas Kyd


But there are examples where the author name (i.e. Arthur Conan Doyle,
James Barrie) doesn't result in this problem, so I don't know why it
does this?

I suppose the answer to your question is zero though :-)
