RE: alt text in 2 languages?

As far as the two big screen-readers are concerned, Window-Eyes and JAWS
5.0 will support the lang attribute for those language packs installed
on the computer (installing the additional language packs occurs when
you are installing either Window-Eyes or JAWS).

About the only languages I have not tested this with is German,
Portuguese, and Finnish (Spanish, French, and Italian worked for me).

Take care,
Sean
