I like to be able to switch the language specific settings in `lang` and `_formattingOpt` each time the user selects a different language for [https://github.com/martinic/ember-cli-markdown-editor/blob/master/addon/components/markdown-editor.js](https://github.com/martinic/ember-cli-markdown-editor/blob/master/addon/components/markdown-editor.js)

Is there a best practice for this and is there an addon that is already doing something similar ?
