No.
A utf-8 encoded MIME part can contain text in both languages.

Of course, but the "choose the correct one (based on it's prefered
language or client installation language)" isn't really there (unless
the user does the choosing :) )

Actually, there has long been a mechanism *in principle* for a multipart/alternative object to contain parts that differ by language, as described originally in RFC1766 and now in less detail by its successor RFC3282. I am not aware of any clients that implement that use of the multipart/alternative type, but if no one has actually implemented support I would not expect it to have survived at all in an RFC at the "draft standard" maturity level.
