Re: [orca-list] Orca and the HTML lang attribute

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

I'll add my vote for auto language switching on html lang tags.

Given there are so many possible languages, however, might it be
necessary, or even simply useful, to preload a few? For the commonly
used langs? After all, in addition to the lang declaration in the
web page header, there is also the inline "on the fly" lang switch for a span
of text in the body of the page itself.
