Hi Mary, Suppose you include some text in another language in your HTML document. You should indicate this with "lang": <P>This paragraph is in English <span lang="fr">sauf pour ce texte qui est en français</span>. And the rest is in English...</P> You should also indicate whether any captions, or text transcripts, or alt text is in a language other than the primary language of the document. I hope this helps, - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
