Comment (by johnbillion):

 Replying to [ticket:28858 joedolson]:
 > 3) Languages are written in native language, but have no lang attribute
 to inform screen reader how to pronounce the language. Patch adds
 `lang="$language['language']"` -- this will not be complete, because the
 WP language profiles do not match the ISO 639 language code list
 http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php. Might be a good
 idea to set up a language reference so that these can be mapped
 appropriately.

 The Translations API now includes ISO 639 codes for each language, so we
 can use the ISO 639-1 code in the `lang` attribute which is what
 [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt RFC 1766] recommends.
