Speaker Language Identified In Audio Descriptions
Summary in Plain English
Where more than one language is spoken, every audio description identifies which language each speaker is using. Incidental words are exempt.
Why It Matters
Without it, a listener cannot tell whether they have missed something or the speaker has simply switched language - and may not know a translation exists.
Scope: When This Applies
The draft's own conditions, quoted from guidelines/groups/images-and-media/audio-descriptions/speaker-language-identified-in-audio-descriptions.md.
Except when
- Words are used incidentally.
