That's wrong a the main language is the latest loaded (here: english).

I would think so, or at least suffixed, instead of being prefixed.

Of course, this is related to the question: do we allow or want multiple
languages in one document? If the answer is yes in LaTeX, how do we do in Org,
and for the HTML export (for which the value of #+LANGUAGE is also used).

Honestly, I don't care that much about one or the other, as I don't have to
type documents with multiple languages inside them. Or, if I would, I would
accept to insert LaTeX code inside my Org file to fix whatever needs to!

Best regards,
  Seb
