This strikes me as somewhat convoluted, but mostly sufficient.
One question I didn’t see answered (apologies if I missed it) was whether one could apply the lang selector to a counter style. For example, I want (>/<) symbols displayed in all locales, but I want the alt text (input/output) localized.
If I’m reading Tab’s summary correctly, we’d have to have duplicated symbolic counter styles in order to use the localized speak-as value.
@counter-style symbols-de { speak-as: alt-de; }
@counter-style symbols-en { speak-as: alt-en; }
@counter-style symbols-es { speak-as: alt-es; }
Is that the intention?
Thanks,
James
