Description
I know that xml namespace language is set correctly by transposh, but is it possible to also convert or insert language and dialect meta/html tags? They aren't currently being recognized or inserted as far as I can tell and are very important for the disabled since they assist screen readers in decoding content.
Commonly recognized tags are:
<html lang="LA">
<html lang="LA" xml:lang="LA">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="LA-CO"/>
<meta http-equiv="language" content="LA"/>
<meta http-equiv="dialect" content="CO" />
LA = language abbreviation
CO = country abbreviation

As far as I see in the code, the html lang one is already taken care of long ago.
meta language is not used (atleast in wordpress) and I don't know how useful it is (given the lang)
the country ones I don't know if we can even handle at this phase
Any new points for (and against) this ticket will be welcomed
