Section 5.25: Changing the Language for a Set of Text
If your document contains text in a different language, you must specify it using the Object Properties dialog in the Tags Pane. For a full paragraph, apply the language change to its tag. For a sentence or phrase within a paragraph, wrap it in a <span> tag first, then apply the language change.
Open the Accessibility Tags Pane and right click the paragraph tag that matches the content with the language change.
In the expansion menu, click Properties.
In the Objects Properties box, select the Language from the drop down menu and click close.

Select the inline text with language change. Right-click the Span Tag, click Create Tag from Selection.
Drag and drop the Span Tag to the correct spot in the tag tree.
