I think I can do that with $LANG and $LC_*, there's also a python
module called 'locale', which should do the job.

Actually, I wasn't concerned about falling back from a translation to
the original document. The fallback thing would only show English
version of, say, <abstract>, if the native version wasn't available.
Is a reference from translated to original document worth the trouble?
I'll go and try to understand some of Dublin Core, haven't heard of it
before...
