Table of contents
If the language of a page or parts of a page is different from the default language of the website, the change needs to be indicated in the HTML code.
What you need to know
- If there is a language switch for a page, linked page, or paragraph, the language for the switch needs to be set in the HTML code.
- Some adopted words can be incorporated into content without calling for a language markup, for example, using the word “siesta” to refer to a nap in an English blog.
What you need to do
- Use HTML markup to indicate a language change when you switch to words or phrases that are meant to be read in another language.
- For any links to alternative versions of the website/page in another language, use the HTML markup to indicate a language change.
