| We need element translation in any language we can get. The encoding

| any Unicode enabled word processor or XML editor. 

I would use UTF-8, so that it can also be (mostly) read with
ASCII-enabled tools, which are rather more common. :-)

This is actually not well-formed.. The value has to be an RFC 1766
language tag, so this should be "en".
