Note that some times there will be "loanwords" used in a language and written
in the same form that is used in the original language. That is word A comes
from language A' and when this is written in a field for language B' it can
still be in a form used at language A'. Such words can even be part of phrases
that describes an entity. This can seriously mess up the layout.

I'm not sure if this have any easy quickfix, but perhaps it is enough to be
able to somehow mark the text from another language. Now all kind of markup is
stripped from the strings, but it is still possible to add rtl/ltr-markers as
UTF8. What makes this a bit awkward is that such markup is invisible.

I propose that we go for a simple solution and only sets lang and dir and for
now neglects any difficult loanwords.
