We are working on making Drupal 7 WCAG 2.0 compliant. The guidelines for accessibility (WCAG 2.0 AA) asks users to mark changes in languages in a text (
http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG ... ng-id.html). For that, users needs to be able to select a human language to set the language attribute. When Ckeditor is used as WYSIWYG-editor, there is a need to make CKeditor WCAG compliant.
CKeditor aims to be WCAG compliant (http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Accessibility), and has a great user interface. However, a language switch button is not built in yet (as far as I know).
As a workaround there is the attribute-button to fill in a language code. That's for users difficult to find. Users need to know the ISO 639-1 code for the language, and in certain situations they need to set RTL/LTR settings.Administrators might not want to give users access over all attributes.
Some while ago for the FCKeditor there was a language button plugin:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=737639
Is there already thought of making such a button in core? If so, what should be the preferred UI?
