IE doesn't support the lang pseudo-class:
html:lang(de) {
font-family: "German Sans";
}
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/selector.html#lang
Nor these kind of selectors:
html[lang|="de"] {
font-family: "German Sans";
}
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/selector.html#attribute-selectors
So one of the only options is to create a class for each language,
eg:
.de {
font-family: "German Sans";
}
<p class="de">German</p>

I have found that the dir attribute is only really necessary for
things that have no specific direction, eg the seperators for a
bread-crumb trail like this:
You are here: English Doc > Urdu Doc > Urdu Doc > English Doc
In the above example the two Urdu documents will be in the wrong
order unless dir is set on the >, ie:
<bdo dir="ltr">></bdo>
