What are loanwords?
Loanwords are words borrowed from one language and incorporated into another, often retaining their original spelling and pronunciation. In German, common loanwords are Anglicisms like "Bachelor", "Job" or "FAQ" borrowed from English.
Why it matters?
Using appropriate language tags for loanwords is essential for accessibility and semantic accuracy. These tags ensure that screen readers pronounce words correctly based on their language, providing a better experience for users with visual impairments.
Additionally, proper language tagging improves SEO and helps search engines understand your content more effectively.
How it works
Once you've installed the Loanwords plugin, you'll gain access to a dedicated section in Craft CMS for managing your loanwords with ease.
Adding a new loanword is simple—just provide the word and select the appropriate language from a dropdown menu. This ensures that each loanword is correctly tagged for accessibility and semantic accuracy.
After saving, you can use the a11yTextReplacer() Twig extension in your templates. This automatically replaces loanwords in your content with the correct tags, enhancing accessibility and ensuring proper screen reader pronunciation on the frontend.
