Personally I think that HTML lang (or xml:lang) attributes are more appropriate (and precise).
Could you please elaborate more on this? I'm just wondering what I should do for this site, since there are multiple languages. Should I do anything at all?
Random google result on this subject: http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/web/tips/langtag.html
Define language of the page in HTML tag: <html lang="en">
and if there are exceptions (elements on a page in a diffrent language), mark them up:
<ul lang="pl"> <li>raz</li> <li>dwa</li> <li>trzy</li> </ul>
Screen readers as well as search engines use this information.
In HTML use lang, in XHTML/1.0 use lang and xml:lang, in XHTML/1.1 only xml:lang is allowed.
