Multiple Language Content Type
RFC 8255, “Multiple Language Content Type”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2017 by N. Tomkinson, N. Borenstein. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the 'multipart/multilingual' content type, which is an addition to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard. This content type makes it possible to send one message that contains multiple language versions of the same information. The translations would be identified by a language tag and selected by the email client based on a user's language settings.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
