## Opis

**Disclaimer: This plugin was merged into WordPress Core. It is not relevant anymore
to install it. I plan to ask for a removal from the repo by the end of the year.**

The intent of this plugin is to provide a way to ensure any language change in the
content of a page is indicated to assistive technologies. This feature is not available
by default in the block editor so it is difficult to make a website fully compliant
to WCAG guidelines using the block editor for now.

We clearly hope this feature will be natively implemented in the block editor in
middle term, because this very simple feature is really needed to help people to
create accessible websites. But in short terms, we need a solution and this plugin
is a solution you may want to use to make your website compliant to accessibility
guidelines 🙂

For more context: this plugin helps you to make your website compliant to the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) success criterion 3.1.2: „Language of Parts”.
The purpose of this success Criterion is to ensure that user agents can correctly
present content written in multiple languages.

As per Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:

This makes it possible for user agents and assistive technologies to present content
according to the presentation and pronunciation rules for that language. This applies
to graphical browsers as well as screen readers, braille displays, and other voice
browsers.

Both assistive technologies and conventional user agents can render text more accurately
if the language of each passage of text is identified. Screen readers can use the
pronunciation rules of the language of the text. Visual browsers can display characters
and scripts in appropriate ways.

This is especially important when switching between languages that read from left
to right and languages that read from right to left, or when text is rendered in
a language that uses a different alphabet. Users with disabilities who know all 
the languages used in the Web page will be better able to understand the content
when each passage is rendered appropriately.

## Zrzuty ekranu

 * Using the block editor formatting toolbar to add a language attribute.

## Instalacja

 1. Install the plugin and activate.
 2. Use the „Language attribute” toolbar button, available on any text content added
    in the block editor.

Thanks for this little Plugin! Seems it just adds a <span>-tag to the block. This
can also be done with the html-mode of the block-editor. But so it might be a little
bit easier to maintain.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!, for creating and sharing this plugin. As small
as this may seem to the less knowledgable, this plugin provides a massive win for
accessibility! Update Tuesday, Nov. 21: this plugin still works fine with WordPress
6.4.x! An yes, of course, you can achieve the in the HTML editor manually, but not
all users are comfortable doing that. This is a great solution!
