Does translated content cause a duplicate content issue?

Why does some websites say they are in different languages when they are in english.....just a glitch?

We have a .com website that presents items for sale in English, French, and several other languages. We've placed the hand-translated pages into the sitemap -- but all pages currently have a US-English HTML tag. For SEO purposes, should we include xml:lang="fr" in the HTML tag for the pages rendered in French? Relatedly, does a webmaster need to submit different sitemap.xml files for google.fr and google.de than what's used in the United States?
