Description

I'd like to have a language bar available for multilingual video transcript pages, such as this one https://www.mass.gov/video/civil-motor-vehicle-citations-0. I'm adding at least 3 additional foreign language transcripts, which will have be be linked as Word docs, but building them as webpages would be better for accessibility and easier to maintain/update if needed.

Research direction

Start with the linked Mass.gov video transcript page and review how multilingual transcript content is currently represented. Define how a language bar should expose the additional transcripts and what accessible webpage-based transcripts should provide; done means the language choices and transcript pages are clear and usable.
