That, and a way for the user to specify that language. Either through
a magic word or through a language selector on the editing page
(either ULS or a dropdown). Of course, the wiki language should be the
default. Is there anything else to it?

That's a as far as a page language goes; It is also useful to specify
the language of chunks of a page. Currently it's done with the HTML
lang attribute, either raw or through templates. It should probably be
done using the VisualEditor, and I already wrote a general spec for it
a while ago:
