======When a Language is Not in MS Word======

Sometimes, you will come across a language that is not listed in the languages in MS Word. To learn more about how to mark up languages go to [[public:nnels:etext:language:marking_up_languages|Marking up Languages]].

Examples can include:
  * Old Languages: this can include languages that are no longer used. (e.g. Latin)
  * Languages used by smaller populations: this mostly happens with Indigenous Languages, but can occur in some other languages. We treat Indigenous Languages differently, learn more at [[public:nnels:etext:language:indigenous_languages|Indigenous Languages]].
  * Vietnamese: It is not available in the Windows Version of Word.

If you come across a language that is not listed in MS Word you will still need to mark it up with ''strong'' style, and add a note to the RT ticket what language is used. The Production Coordinator may be able to locate a language tag for the language.

You will also need to include a [[public:nnels:etext:producers-note|Producer's Note]].
