When used with the correct DOCTYPE you can  languages, using the 
xml:lang and lang  attributes , with two-letter codes, like so:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr" lang="fr">

The above would be for an entire  document. You can also apply these 
lang attributes to other [x]]html tags, if just certain sections of a 
webpage will be in that language.

..  Further information on the w3c spec pages:
