Re: Language of parts for user generated content

Right now we have lang attribute set for the entire document, not for
individual feeds. There could be many use cases like the entire post is in
a different language or some part of the post is in a different language
and this could extend to the comments on the post as well.

Thanks for the insights to the API Steve, we are exploring that option as
well.

Alternatively, We could nudge users upfront to specify the language of the
post before posting like we do for providing alt text for images. But we
want to keep this option as a last resort.

Thanks for the ideas, really appreciate it!
