            Bug ID: 52166
           Summary: Meta tag to set @lang to language variant
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Page editing

The page content block, and the textarea for editing, should support having a
language variant set for the page.

e.g
a tag in the page, like {{LANGUAGE:en-GB}}
should set lang="en-GB" on the content div, and on the textarea wpTextbox1.

Browser spellcheckers will then use the correct spelling definitions for that
page.

On En.Wp there is already templates which could implement this, and this would
support the many policies of retaining existing spelling.
