How does your page switch the view to a particular language?
Do you use a cookie setting for this, perhaps a page variable is set
by a cookie? How are the different description tags made individual?
For instanc ei have been using the Viewmodes recipe for language
switching: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ViewModes
This gives me apart from a (:if view :) conditional also a {$View} page
variable. So with views defined to values of de, en, it, fr for
instance, {$View} will be rendered as one of those little strings,
and i can use it to define a language (view) specific title or
description or whatever page text variable.
For setting the title I used:
(:title {$:title{$View}} :)
and then set language specific titles with PTVs:
(:titlede: Ein Deutscher Titel:)
(:titleen: An English Title:)
etc.
Same goes for (:description {$:description{$View}} :)
Then your pagelist template can stay as you got it, since
{=$Description} will be rendered as the value from PTV
{$:description{$View}},
or you could use {=$:description{$View}} directly in the template.
Hope this helps a bit!
