Here is a patch for the [[plugins/meta]] plugin. It adds the possibility to define the language used for a page, with [[meta lang="ja"]]

It doesn't insert the langage information in the xhtml meta elements, but defines a LANG variable to use in the templates, for example with

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      lang="<TMPL_IF NAME="LANG"><TMPL_VAR LANG><TMPL_ELSE>fr</TMPL_IF>"
      xml:lang="<TMPL_IF NAME="LANG"><TMPL_VAR LANG><TMPL_ELSE>fr</TMPL_IF>">

This way also allows to define a language for a subset of the final page, with custom templates and inclusion.

This may be useful for sites with a few pages in different languages, but no full i18n.
