In MediaWiki pages it is frequently required to write a paragraph in a different
language, and possibly also with different directionality. For example, a
quotation in English in an article in the Hebrew Wikipedia.

With the plain wikitext editor this can be achieved using HTML, for example
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">. In some Wikipedias there are templates that do
this.

There must be a way to do this using the VE GUI. For example, the user can
select the text in a different language, open a dialog with "Paragraph language
properties" and select "Language: English" and "Directionality: Left-to-right".
