So far, I've only used it in the multilingual edition of Dante's Divine Comedy, there I have:
Code:
<dc:title xml:lang="it">La divina commedia</dc:title>
<dc:title xml:lang="de">Göttliche Komödie</dc:title>
<dc:title xml:lang="en">The Divine Comedy</dc:title>
<dc:title xml:lang="es">La divina comedia</dc:title>
<dc:title xml:lang="pt">A divina comédia</dc:title>
<dc:title xml:lang="ru">Божественная комедия</dc:title>

because the document contains all those languages (I didn't use xml:lang for dates, because it's not the dates which are in different languages, but the translations they refer to).
In "The Story of Gösta Berling", however, since it's just an English translation from the original Swedish (and the original is not included in the document), I have:
