If (and only if) a page is translated in other languages it will be usefull to have alternate link tags in head part of the HTML source. This is usefull for some search engines to organize the information of multilingual sites.

Let's say we have a site that is using Localizer to display content in 3 languages: English, Italian, Romanian. If we are on the italian page and that page have translations in english and romanian, i want to have these additional link tags in the head section:

<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="/switchuilocale/en?destination=node" hreflang="en" lang="en" title="About Us" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="/switchuilocale/ro?destination=node" hreflang="ro" lang="ro" title="Despre Noi" />

This will tell to searchh engines that this page have 2 translations in EN and RO.
