Hoi,
The standard for the identification of a language should suffice. As long
as we follow the standard and insist on the identification in this manner
it is always possible to provide an identifcation. When you insist on a an
item ID, that item ID needs to have a language code and this language code
must never change.
Without this there is no interoperability.
Thanks,
GerardM
