Auto detects the language used and adds "lang" tag to various HTML tags on journal pages on lang-8.com, to enable display of language-specific glyphs of CJK ideographs.

I wrote this to fix the problem of display of Japanese Characters with the Chinese-specific glyphs. I guess it would work for other languages as well, but I have not tested it.

Note that you need a OpenType font that supports "localized forms" to make it work. I am using Adobe Source Han Sans. Also slight adjustments to the css configuration are needed:

body{
    font-family: sans-serif !important;    
}

to force the browser to use your font.
