J.5.4 Specifying Language to Enable Accessibility Tools

It is incredibly important for customers to always specify which language is being used to author a document. The rationale behind this is that speech synthesizers and Braille devices can automatically switch to the new language, making the document more accessible to multilingual users.

when an Office Open XML document uses different languages for text, a clear identification of the language used and its country is provided. The <w:lang/> tag is generated which indicates the language used in the paragraph and run.
