That's actually more common that one might think, though the more general situation is
<p lang="lang1">... word-example ...</p>
...
<p lang="lang1">... <span lang="lang2">word-example</span> ...</p>
I've read many ebooks that are written in a first language, but contain terms or citations from other languages. If the creator of the ebook does not mark all instances of a word in the proper language, you end up with this situation.
Since my ebook reader applies hyphenation, reading the text gets quite annyoing, if words are not assigned to their proper language.
