Assuming that buttons, headings, tabs and introtext will still be translatable into user language and adapt to the user you shouldn't change the page language but wrap any wikcontent-language content in the right css classes instead (<div class="mw-content-{ltr,rtl}" lang={..}>).

This does not only affect appearance but also behavior of the language converter: if my user language is en I cannot convert contents in Special:FeedItem from zh-hans to zh-hant. Wrapping page in <div> won't help.
