Allow specifying the language code

[XhmikosR]

By default, don't add anything, but give the user the ability to specify the language code.

Is there any prior art here?

Do any of the importers import any language information, either per post or per site?

Is there any existing convention for specifying this information?

[XhmikosR]

Only the specs as far as I can tell. language is a per channel element.

[pathawks]

But, because it XML, any element can have an xml:lang attribute.

[XhmikosR]

That is true, but the specs don't mention anything about each element. So it should be a per channel sub-element.

[pathawks]

Is there any prior art here at all? Are there any i18n Jekyll plugins/workflows that set language information anywhere?

@pathawks There are a number of i18n plugins for Jekyll out in the wild. Octopress's Multilingual is the only one whose development I have followed. https://github.com/octopress/multilingual

I don't see any language element in the Atom spec, but <feed> could have an xml:lang set to {{ site.lang }}, if present. Each <entry> could also have an xml:lang set to {{ post.lang }}. All links could also include hreflang if we can reasonably figure out the language of the resource the link points to.

Would this be reasonable/sufficient? Are there any great examples of feeds from multilingual sites that properly include language information to look to as an example?

[pathawks]

This has been fixed by #75

Thanks! Any chance for a new release?
