## Description

This wordpress plugin adds a meta box for specifying html lang=”” language per post.

### The problem this plugin solves

WordPress allows us to specify site-wide language defaults like so:

    ```
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="es">
    ```

The problem comes about if you have blog posts in various languages. Personally 
I write posts in either English or Norwegian. And since English is set as the site-
wide language posts that are in Norwegian end up looking kinda weird due to weirdly
placed `-` (hyphenations).

### Solution

The solution is to add more specific html `lang` attributes when needed.

    ```
    <article id="" class="" lang="vi">
    ```

For example this specifies that the post is in Vietnamese. This plugin enables a
meta box when editing posts where you may specify the post’s language.

### Contributing

This plugin was made in a jiffy. But by all means do suggest improvements. For instance
the plugin obviously lacks testing code.
