Not really. You seem to assume that no multilingual texts exist. For
example, I work with texts containing parts in multiple languages
(usually, but not always, only two of them) on a daily basis.
OTOH, one might assume that they are properly marked up, e.g. in LaTeX.
(This is not always correct, but I might want to pay the price of
additional markup in such a case.)
