"Filtered HTML format" in Drupal 7 is now called "Basic HTML format" in Drupal 10, if I am understanding this correctly. I have made this change to the Body section.
This is a meta-issue for the integration of the concept of 'language of parts' in Drupal core. Language of parts is an accessibility requirement in WCAG and is meant to make language changes in texts detectable.
"3.1.2 Language of Parts: The human language of each passage or phrase in the content can be programmatically determined except for proper names, technical terms, words of indeterminate language, and words or phrases that have become part of the vernacular of the immediately surrounding text. (Level AA)" http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#meaning-other-lang-id
The recommended solution is to use the lang-attribute, for example:
<span lang="de">Ich bin ein Berliner</span> is a quotation from a speech by President John F. Kennedy.
This year in the Netherlands 45% of governmental websites fails on WCAG tests for this issue. Example: A governmental web page that should have language tags.
We discussed this in the last meeting in the accessibility group. As texts are provided in a lot of places, we suggested to break this issue into separate issues for the different levels and uses. First test and if needed file issues for the most common places like text fields.
General UI:
#1164682: links with a known language need language identifier →
🐛
if t() string has no translation or fallback language, text should have lang attribute
Closed: won't fix
body field
The default Basic HTML format outputs the language attribute correctly and even transforms it to both xml:lang and lang. However, by default it is not possible to include span, p and div tags. That means that there is at the moment no option to include languages without additional visual markup (as cite, em, strong, blockquote etc).

text field
For text fields the default plain text format is not sufficient, an html filter should be included to output the language attribute.

title field
Titles accept only plain text. There is no easy solution for this. Fix would be to have titles as text fields.

It affects the ability of people with disabilities or special needs (such as blindness or color-blindness) to use Drupal.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
