To mark up secondary language:

Apply Strong style to the word or phrase

When passing the ticket to the Production Coordinator, please make note of what languages you used. If there are multiple Indigenous languages, please note where the different languages are to help the Production Coordinator with the language tagging during conversion. Here is a video tutorial on how to Apply Languages and Pass the RT Ticket.

The extra steps of applying Strong style and including a list of languages used in RT will help identify if they have been applied properly. The Strong style is removed for conversion by the Production Coordinator.

If you are working with a Windows computer, you may have to install the editing languages in order to apply them to the text. You can learn more on this external guide for How to Change Language in Word.

When in doubt, post a question on the Production Q&A!
