Yes! Screen readers like JAWs will switch language profiles 'on-the-fly' when @lang is used in-line. For example, Richard's example, if marked-up, would use the French enunciation: <p>The french language translation of cat is <span lang="fr">chat</span>.</p> I can provide an MP3 file if you need/want Jens - ping me directly if you want it.
