[TYPO3-core] FYI: Added feature #10182: htmlArea RTE: Add support for editing lang attribute

[Stanislas Rolland]

FYI: The attached SVN patch was committed.

Type:
Feature

Problem:
There is currently no way for authors using the RTE to assign lang 
attribute to elements.

Solution:
1. Add two new toolbar elements: language (drop-down list of languages) 
and showlanguagemarks (toggle button)
2. The language drop-down list is used to add, change or remove language 
attributes on an element. Language marking may be done with lang or 
xml:lang attribute or both.
3. Localization of language labels in the drop-down list is obtained 
from localization extensions of Static Info Tables.
4. The language marking drop-down list is also available in the image, 
table/column/row/cell and acronym/abbreviation dialogues.
5. Acronym/abbreviation table has an additional language property which 
is used, when set, as default language mark on the abbr/acronym element.
6. Showing language marks in the RTE may be toggled on and off using the 
showlanguagemarks button. Showing language marks is done through css 
attribute selector and will not work when the xml:lang attribute is used 
alone. In browsers that support css attribute selectors (all but IE6), a 
small icon is shown in front of the marked text (rule defined by skin). 
In browsers that support css attribute value selectors (all but IE), the 
icon is followed by the language code (rule added dynamically).
7. Display of the language attribute value, if any, in the status bar is 
as follows: element[language-code].
8. Page TSConfig properties are:
RTE.default.buttons.language.items = list-of-language-iso-codes
RTE.default.buttons.language.prefixLabelWithCode = boolean
RTE.default.buttons.language.postfixLabelWithCode = boolean
RTE.default.buttons.language.useLangAttribute = boolean
RTE.default.buttons.language.useXmlLangAttribute = boolean
9. The manual is updated.
