The tika-app jar doesn't do language detection by default. The
language metadata you're seeing is a result of the encoding-based
language estimate that we get from the ICU4J code we're using.
Apparently that data set categorizes ISO-8859-1 as an English-specific
character encoding.

We already dropped encoding-based language estimates from the HTML
parser, and I think we should do the same also for plain text
documents.
