There is currently no mechanism to allow multilingual Alt Text for graphics. We've been asking for this for as long as Alt Text has existed. It is a real need. I have one graphic in a document with both English and Spanish text but can't identify the change in language in the Alt Text. Nor can I assign a different language for the entire Alt Text.
