Some Canvas users who are
teaching languages have identified an
issue when text is added to pages in
Canvas with a mix of languages. For
instance, if you wrote an introductory
sentence in French and then continued in
English below it. Immersive Reader cannot
distinguish the change in language and
often reads the paragraph in English with
a French accent
The workaround for this is to
include the language tag in the HTML content
to help Immersive Reader to distinguish
between the two languages. The language tag
identifies the language to be used for the
sentence or paragraph that follows. E.g.
"lang=en" for English or "lang=fr" for French.
Click the icon underneath the text
editor to open the HTML view of the page.
Insert the lang tags, as shown below, where
necessary in the text.
You can help to identify the
correct language tag to use by checking this lookup app.
