To expand a little more... Another problem I see in your example is
nesting. In my proposal, the blocks can be nested:
:fr{text in French and :it{text in Italian}}
But I would find this difficult to read:
$[lang :fr "text in French and $[lang :it "text in italian"]"]
Juan Manuel your ":fr{}" and similar objects is a domain-specific
language that is quite different from a generic element proposed by
Samuel. Do you think it makes sense to modify your inline special block
patch to allow creation of concise DSL?

I mean &fr{bonjour} defined using "#+options:" or some new keyword or a
special block. A definition of "fr" may be (using a bit different names)
:latex_element "foreignlanguage" :latex_prefix "french"
:html_element "span" :html_attr (:lang "fr")
&fr{} is no heavier than :fr{}. The only drawback is necessity to define
elements for each language used in the document. I do not think, even a
dozen of declarations is a significant burden.
