For Translate and Incubator, language can be easily
pulled from the title as
language codes get used as a page title component (suffix or prefix or some
such). However for more general pages this may end up being better defined
as metadata tied to the page, which'll need storage and being kept across
export/import, delete/undelete, etc.
Note that the North Frisian Wikipedia has a need to identify the dialect
for each article (North Frisian is split into roughly 10 dialects which
aren't generally mutually intelligible but it may also be hard to tell
which particular dialect something is written in from a short stub) and
they currently use {{dialect}} templates at the top of the pages to make
this identification. There currently aren't proper language tags for the
dialects but
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hoehrmann-nordfriisk-00 I
am working on fixing that.
(I am not sure what that implies for this debate, but it is something to
be aware of in the context of page language meta data features.)
