True xml:lang isn't a perfect solution but it does provide a fairly
easy way to support designating which language you are speaking
without changing the protocol.

I didn't mean to say that xml:lang is a bad way to mark content language. I just wanted to say that it may be hard for clients to determine the right value without annoying users.

the user select the lang for each message sent.

Yes, I guess this would be the way to implement this...


We have been using this approach for 2 years in production
environments with a high degree of success.

... but I cannot imagine why would users "waste" their time choosing language from the drop down, if it doesn't really change anything for them (setting correct language at my end doesn't change anything for me, it only helps the other person. and since most of users don't use any translation, etc services, they won't even think that this setting makes any real difference for the other peer).

Did you do any training/advertising to get this "high degree of success"?
