Does it matter what language, or what charset? <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
You can always look at this and the lang="foo" tags to try to determine what language, or at least what charset, the page is in. Of course, a charset (like iso-8869-1) can cover many languages, but at least you can narrow it down a little if you don't find a lang="foo" tag.
