Details
The web is messy, and sometimes content in a CMS will incorrectly label elements as from another language, e.g. lang="en". See Bug 1907597. In order to get around this, and still respect the hint that content may be in a different language, we should perform language detection on any elements that have a lang tag in a different language, rather than just skipping them. Then conditionally translate them if they match the source language in the translation.
