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 "cool", "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.
