Defining Language in CanvasĬurrently the rich text editor in Canvas does not provide a toolbar widget for identifying the language of selected text. For example, imagine that our English document contains a short paragraph in French, as in the following example: Vaut mieux prévenir que guérir.
If a paragraph, table cell, list item, or any other block of text changes from the default language of the page, that too must be marked up with a lang attribute. For example the following tag identifies the entire HTML document as being an English: In HTML the language of content is identified using the lang attribute, the value of which is a standard BCP 47 Language Code. Identifying the language of the entire web page or document, as well as its individual parts, helps to ensure that screen readers will correctly pronounce the content. Therefore it is important for authors to define the language of the document or web page, and to identify the language of any blocks of text that deviate from that default language. However, currently screen readers are unable to determine what language a document is written in, or if the language changes within that document. Many screen reader applications support multiple languages, and can switch on-the-fly between supported languages, using the appropriate voice and rule set for the current language.
