Examples: WAI Web Content Accessibility Curriculum - slide "4.1 - Clearly identify changes in the natural language of a document's text and any text equivalents"

Use the "lang" attribute to clearly identify changes in the language of text.

When mixing languages in a sentence or paragraph, notate the language changes like this:

Mother, he's asking you to go.
He's saying, "Allons, Madame plaisante!"

And the code would be:

Mother, he's asking you to go.
He's saying,<SPAN lang="fr"> "Allons, Madame plaisante!"</SPAN>

For a complete list of language codes, check out:
