Text in another language is correctly indicated

• The language of each passage or phrase within the content is specified, except for proper names, technical terms, indeterminate words, and adopted vernacular phrases.

• On an English page, a German sentence should be marked as German so that screen readers can read it correctly.

• Links to pages in different languages (e.g., Deutsch, Français, Nederlands) should be marked with the appropriate language.

• A French page that includes the word “podcast” should not be marked as English since “podcast” is commonly used in French.

• Proper names

• Technical terms

• Words or phrases without a specific language

• Words or phrases adopted into the vernacular of the surrounding text

• Use language attributes (e.g., <span lang="de">) to mark text in different languages.
