Hi Margo,
Yes, I have done that with the original rss.xml files on the servers,
one for each class or language. Students can take their personal
computers and program/teach their own clients to collect from the
language feed/channel(s) of their choice.
However, the point I am considering, don't know if it can be done, is
to make a client on a PUBLIC MACHINE segregate the languages it collects
by language and have students be able to go to a list in that client for
only the language they desire. Have I been more specific in my inquiry?
It may be that their is no client out there that allows this type
function.
Thank you for your time taken in considering this puzzle.
Tracy.

It sounds like you need to make different *channels* in your feed for
the
different languages, so students of a particular language subscribe to
just the channel they need... Sorry I don't know this client to know
if
that is possible with it...
Cheers,
