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. > > Cheers, Karen > > > From: Lleonart, Assumpta <assumpta.lleonart@icgc.cat> > Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2021 3:24 AM > To: 'w3c-wai-ig@w3.org' <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> > Subject: Doubt about pdfs accessibility > > CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

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. > > It is not a question about marking the language of each column, but about reading order.
