Hello, Eric Hansen has asked for a clarification of one of the paragraphs of the Techniques document [1] under checkpoint 2.7 (natural language switching): <BLOCKQUOTE> Switching natural languages for blocks of content may be more helpful than switching for short phrases. In some language combinations (e.g., Japanese being the primary and English being the secondary or quoted language), short foreign language phrases are often well-integrated in the primary language. Dynamic switching for these short phrases may make the content sound unnatural and possibly harder to understand. </BLOCKQUOTE> Eric asks what the UA should do in this case... I thought that this came from the I18N review of the document at last call, but I cannot find evidence to that effect. Can someone remember where this came from? I haven't been able to track down who sent this technique.
