Foreign language tagging lets content creators mark up text in a different language so screen readers can correctly identify and pronounce it for learners. The following CourseArc blocks have a WYSIWYG text editor that includes this option: Icon and Text, Icon and Link to Popup Text, Cloze, Content: Text and Tables, Graphing, Instructor Notes, and Tabs/Accordions.
In the block edit view of a supported block, use the Select Language dropdown in the WYSIWYG text editor to assign the appropriate language tag to the foreign language text. Tagged languages display in a unique color to help content creators visually distinguish them.
By default, supported languages include Czech, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Latin, and Spanish. Other language options may be configured to replace one or more of the defaults.
In this Instructor Notes block, the Spanish word mañana is highlighted and the Select Language dropdown menu is set to Spanish.
