Use of foreign words in meta tags

    When I first created my family friendly site about Amsterdam and other European red light districts I assumed most traffic would come from US and UK tourists. However my main traffic by far is from Holland and most Dutch speak English and seem happy to use English language sites. My question though is should I be using Dutch words and phrases within my meta tags? Rosse Buurt for example means red light district. I understand that tags should reflect content and I do occasionally use these terms within my site. With only a limited number of meta tags though I have to decide between the most used English key words and Dutch equivalents of the very top ones.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    This meta tag is usually placed beneath the title and meta description tags in the

    <HEAD></HEAD> section of your pages' HTML code, like this:<HEAD>
    <TITLE>your DESCRIPTIVE KEYWORDS title goes here</TITLE>
    <META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Your keyword rich marketing sales-pitch meta description goes here">
    <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="your keywords,go here,separated by a comma,but not a space">
    </HEAD>

    This meta tag is most important things for Seo

    <HEAD></HEAD> section of your pages' HTML code, like this:<HEAD> it is h1, h2....h6
    <TITLE>your DESCRIPTIVE KEYWORDS title goes here</TITLE>, it should be maximum 70 character
    <META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Your keyword rich marketing sales-pitch meta description goes here">
    <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="your keywords,go here,separated by a comma,but not a space">
    </HEAD>

    yes google does not pay attention to keywords it just read your Title and description.
    Alt tag,h1tag internal linking,keywords should be bold or Italics etc.

    there is some great info and resources as well on rich snippets. can't think of any on the top of my head but search 'rich snippets' and there are some good tools to getting various meta titles of your web pages displaying certain ways to attract more of dutch. think outside the box of course. but yes, having parts of amsterdam showing up on a expandable map in your serp listing is one way to create a more dramatic results for that traffic source
