Note that some document formats can use separate human languages for output and input purposes. In such cases both languages should be programmatically determinable.
14:40:58 [greggvanderheiden]
There are some software and document technologies where there is no assistive technology supported method for marking the language for the different passages or phrases in the document or software, and it would not be possible to meet this success criterion with those technologies.
14:40:59 [greggvanderheiden]
NOTE: Inheritance is one common method. For example a document or application provides the language that it is using and it can be assumed that all of the text or user interface elements within that document or application will be using the same language unless it is indicated.
