The HTML doesn't get translated, only the content.

No, at least I don't think so. However, to give a complete answer would be
very lengthy here so I suggest you read W3C's specification for HTML 4.0,
section 8 very thoroughly and carefully:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/dirlang.html

It will provide you with what you need to get going and point you to other
references.

good luck,
