+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.
