Re: Doubt about pdfs accessibility

Karen McCall asked me to post this on her behalf:
 
> I create <Part> tags and put all of the English (for example) in one <Part> tag and all of the French (for example) in the other part tag then assign the appropriate language to the French <Part> tag. This allows those who read English to access all of the English content together and those who read French to access all of the French content together.

> I was just teaching how to use the <Span> tag to isolate a language in a sentence where a word or phrase might be in a different language.

> In some publications, more than one language is used to provide the same information. This is not the simple case where, within a text in a specific language, there is a word or a phrase in another language. I'm talking about a text with a two-column layout: In the left column, Spanish text is shown and, in the right column, you can find the same text but in English; moreover, the text in each language runs from one page to the following.
