The implementation of this tag grabs the current locale from the session
(set from either a call to request.getLocale() or later updated by the
application) and uses that to set the "lang" attribute on the <html> tag.

Struts doesn't know anything about this, because "languages available" is
an application specific concept. However, your application is
free to set the Locale (in the session, under key Action.LOCALE_KEY) to
whatever you think is correct.
