This makes perfect sense to me. I would add that the language metadata
needs to be incorporated into the OMB protocol so this information can
be passed from server to server.

Regarding the hash tag, there is probably room for debate as to whether
that is the right way to deal with what is probably an edge case of
users that switch between languages frequently. Interface-specific
solutions might be more friendly, for example - e.g. via the web,
a dropdown to override the lanauge, via xmpp, a 'change language'
command.
