Indeed there isn't.


But here's the rub: 
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.nl/2010/03/working-with-multilingual-websites.html
from the above page:
[quote]
"Keep in mind that Google ignores all code-level language information, from
“lang” attributes to Document Type Definitions (DTD). Some web editing
programs create these attributes automatically, and therefore they aren’t
very reliable when trying to determine the language of a webpage."
[end quote]

So, Google tries to infer the language of a page from its *content*. Google
looks exclusively at the content. They encountered wrong declarations
inserted by WYSIWYG editors so often that now all such directions are
ignored.


Hence my feature request: 
Make it so that the user *can* narrow down the search to the pages of a
particular language repository.

I suggest that the directories are restuctured so that the URLs read as
follows:

German version:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/de/Documentation/notation/lilypond-command-index.html
Italian version:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/it/Documentation/notation/lilypond-command-index.html

That way if someone wants to search the German language repository:

barnumbercheck  site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/de/Documentation
