Some people who received this message don't often get email from = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = <mailto: = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = >. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
I work in a multilingual environment.
It is my job to insure accessibility of our documents.
As above I am unable to insure that descriptive text is presented properly for our French speaking colleagues.
I would greatly appreciate this feature

Thanks for contacting Microsoft, David!
Keep us updated if anything comes of it, or if you need us to chime on a Microsoft feature forum.
Many of us here are squeaky wheels.

Good morning;
Is there a way using perhaps common look or other plugins to modify the language used when speaking alternative text descriptions in Word or PowerPoint presentations.
If this is possible, perhaps I could use this to justify the purchase of the tool.
Thanks
David
