If the principal language of the document is Italian, then set the LANG attribute of the HTML element to Italian, thus: Then, to identify an English-language phrase, use the LANG attribute with the attribute: I'm an English phrase! You can test this using IBM's Home Page Reader 3.02, which changes dictionaries on the fly.

I forward the question of an IWA member: ---- I have a small issue that I am hoping you can help me with. I am trying to create web pages with the new standard XTML, following the rules for accessibility set down by WCAG and Internationalizations.. 1) Example: " " On this example there is a mix of english words and italian words because the page is wrote in italian language and is related to argument that could not be translated in italian. I can understand that I can use "Pagina Principale" instead of "Home Page" even if is not so nice, but I should use for WCAG and english spelling for "World Wide Web Consortium". I repeat this is only an example but the concept is: how can I switch language or how can I show acronyms inside "string" attribute?
