Chapter 7 Foreign languages

Any text in a foreign language, regardless of how long or short, should be indicated as such with the appropriate two-letter language code, which can be found here. Here is the what the markup looks like for a couple of the most common languages you might need.

Latin:

In Latin, the word "[sacramentum]{lang=la}" means "mystery."

Output: In Latin, the word “sacramentum” means “mystery.”

Greek:

In English, we have transliterated the Greek word "[μυστηριον]{lang=el}" as "mystery."

Output: In English, we have transliterated the Greek word “μυστηριον” as “mystery.”

NOTE: Do not mark any words as English (ie. “lang=en”). You might be tempted to when, for example, there are a few words in english in a larger Latin section. The default language of the book is English, and attempting to mark any specific words as English will now cause errors when building the PDF.
