I do not think that is feasible, if you > check how present mail UAs handle this. how present mail UAs handle this is irrelevant, because they don't handle any other scheme for language selection either. the only question for IETF is - what's the best way to do this in MIME protocol? and nobody has come up with a better alternative (so to speak) than multipart/alternative.
