Page content language

 * "getPageLanguage can be a starting point, but its actual functionality is very limited." Nowadays the page content language specifies quite a lot (directionality, magic words, ...), so this function is fundamental though its value is not (yet) stored in the database and there is no interface (yet) for changing it on-wiki (bug 9360/28970).
 * "The Page Translation feature in the Translate extension applies language metadata to the pages it creates and this functionality could be moved to the core." Could you perhaps clarify this, what metadata are you referring to?
