Yes (or the sub-element to which the attribute applied).
So:

        <cite lang="de">Mein
Kampf</cite>

would be correct, even when referring to an English
translation, but:

        <cite lang="en">Verwenden von
Microformats durch Brian
        Suda<cite>

would not.

In cases where you're citing an on-line source (and of
course many
resources are on paper), you can use hreflang:

        <cite>
          <a href="www.ad.nl/"
hreflang="nl">Algemeen Dagblad</a>
        </cite>
