It really works for HTML5 and LaTeX, but unfortunately it 
doesn’t for ODT.

So, this rST:

    In the end both options happened. Uncle Harry in secret 
    asked the French :language-fr:`Bureau des Aurors` to sent 
    somebody to start the investigation,

gives me this lovely HTML:

    <p>In the end both options happened. Uncle Harry in secret 
    asked the French <span lang="fr">Bureau des Aurors</span> to 
    sent somebody to start the investigation,</p>

and this LaTeX (and the generator even managed to translate “ft” 
-> “french”):

    In the end both options happened. Uncle Harry in secret 
    asked the French \foreignlanguage{french}{Bureau des Aurors} 
    to sent somebody to start the investigation,

but ODT generator doesn’t catch this trick and creates a new 
empty style (which actually is not visible in the style tools in 
OOWriter):

    <text:p text:style-name="rststyle-textbody">In the end both 
    options happened. Uncle Harry in secret asked the French 
    <text:span text:style-name="rststyle-language-fr">Bureau des 
    Aurors</text:span>to sent somebody to start the 
    investigation,</text:p>

I was trying a bug for this at 
https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/bugs, but I couldn’t find 
anything. And I know, unsupported magical feature means it is 
unsupported, but still it would be lovely to have the ODT 
generator following the suite. Do you know whether there is such 
bug?

Best,

Matěj
