Hello RQTF friends,

A question has come up from a colleague of mine around how to create a mechanism for passing the language attribute to describe different languages within the same image as alternate text.

I have my own thoughts on this, but would like to hear from you, on what you think the current state of players or if this is currently possible. 

Could be a very interesting thing to look into.

Happy to hear thoughts!

Thanks

Josh
