Sometimes you need another language in a report. Quarto provides two options to indicate what language to use. The first syntax is [text in other language]{lang=tag}. This syntax is useful when you use a different language for a few words of sentences. Use the second syntax when you use a different language for one or more paragraphs.

::: {lang=tag}

Add the text with a different language.
