Language Subtypes. See:

From what I've gathered, this is a pretty standard LDAPv3 extension, 
and you shouldn't need to do anything special to make it work in 
versions of OpenLDAP. There are more options (RFC 1766), but from what 
I've seen the most common approach is just to use lang- followed by the 
2-letter ISO 639 language code, hence lang-sv for Swedish (or lang-fr 
for French, etc).
