Setting the pango.Language for a widget

[F Wolff <friedel translate org za>]

Hallo list

I'm struggling to set the language for the pango context of a text view.
Things work well when I'm working with pango layouts

text_view.modify_font works as advertised, but I'm trying
text_view.get_pango_context().set_language(...), with no effect. The
widgets are inheriting correctly from their parents, but I want to set
different languages for widgets in my container.

I attach a minimal Python test case. Any help will be appreciated.
