<h3>Note on alternatives matching the language of content</h3>
<p>Text alternatives and equivalents should match the human language of the original content (normally the default human language of the page). The <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#conformance-reqs">5.2 Conformance Requirements<a> section, through the defined terms used there, states that success criteria be met through accessibility-supported ways (5.2.4), where the technology is used “in the human language of the content.” Where an alternative version is used (5.2.1), it is defined as something that “provides all of the same information and functionality in the same human language.”</p>

<p>For time-based media, that normally means that where the spoken language of the media is Spanish, the language used in captions, audio descriptions, and media alternatives will also be Spanish.</p>
