Web browsers already have code to do this as part of content negotiation, and/or in XML for xml:lang processing e.g. in XSLT and XPath; just make sure the spec allows that same code to be reused. In the worst case a user agent could show all matching pairs and still be more useful than if the metadata were only in Urdu (say).
