Of course. OTOH, e.g. in LaTeX mode, we may have additional info, like
\usepackage[encoding]{inputenc}, which can be used by Emacs (AUCTeX, to
be more precise) to infer the encoding. I imagine you could do
a similar thing with the language(s). The problem of Text mode is
obviously still open.

Yes, highly nontrivial.
Stanisław Barańczak, a Polish poet who died last year, amused himself by
many plays on words etc. Among others, he wrote texts which were
_syntactically_ correct in two languages at the same time. (AFAIR, he
did it for Polish/German and Polish/English combinations, so he got
bonus points for thus combining a Slavic language with a Germanic one.)
