I'm no regex guru but something goes wrong here.
First of you miss the second parameter in preg_match
int preg_match ( string pattern, string subject [, array &matches [, int flags [, int offset]]] )
If you need the text from two unique tags it should not be to hard:
$test = "<tag lang='ttt'>THIS IS A TEST</tag>";
preg_match("/<tag lang='ttt'>(.+?)<\/tag>/", $test, $matches);
print_r($matches);
