A11y Code Sprint Berlin: Success Criterion 9.3.1.1. - provide functionality to markup language in RTE

[SarahEdding]

Feature Request

Description

In order to make content properly readable for a screen reader, it's language must be determinable. If passages of text differ from the page's document language, this must be marked up by the editor.

Solution

The richt text editor must offer a functionality to editors to mark a passage of text as written in another language, for instance in Polish. The editor should be able to mark a passage and press a button to add the language markup. The text passage should then be wrapped in a <span> with lang="pl"

This needn't necessarily be implemented for every international language.
For the Introduction Package in this instance to be compliant, the following languages must be implemented:

• Bulgarian
• Czech
• Dutch
• English
• Esperanto
• French
• German
• Greek (monotonic)
• Greek (polytonic)
• Hebrew
• Hungarian
• Icelandic
• Irish
• Jamaican
• Japanese (Hiragana)
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Sami (Northern)
• Slovak
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Russian

Alternative

If this is too time consuming to implement, the language markup could be added manuall via RTE html editing; However, this functionality must be provided to editors if they are to manage content in an accessible way.

I can't see the language button, yet.

@alexakressmann should I add the languange markup manually, for now?
