Synopsis
xml:lang='

Description
The xml:lang attribute can be used on any element. Its value
indicates the language of that element. This is useful in a multilingual
context. For example, you might have:
<para xml:lang="en" >Hello</para> <para xml:lang="fr">Bonjour</para>
This format allows you to display one or the other, depending on the user’s language preference.
The syntax of the xml:lang value is defined by RFC-1766, available
at http://ds0.internic.net/rfc/rfc1766.txt. A two-letter language code
is optionally followed by a hyphen and a two-letter country code. The
languages are defined by RFC-1766 and the countries are defined by ISO-3166.
Traditionally, the language is given in lowercase and the country in
uppercase (and for safety, this rule should be followed), but processors
are expected to use the values in a case-insensitive manner.
In addition, RFC-1766 also provides extensions for nonstandardized
languages or language variants. Valid xml:lang values include
such notations as en, en-US, en-UK, en-cockney,
i-navajo, and x-minbari.
