lang-variant Language Variant (multi-language)

Names the type of language variant for a member of a language group, for example, a translation.

Language Groups: In JATS, members of a language group use the @lang-group attribute to point to the @id of one of their members, binding the group together. Each member of a language group may take its own variant type (@lang-variant).
