For example, if a character says "no" and only no, do you tag it with English text? Because that could very well be Spanish. As well as things like "hello".

If in doubt, you can tag it text and leave it at that. As you point out, sometimes we can't be any more specific than that.

Wow, never thought of this, I think I may have contributed to a couple of mistags based on this. Will have to be careful in the future.

Technically as long as the text can be identified as any language, it should be tagged with that language, othervice use just text or even just sound_effects.

I was thinking "If you can read it in English and understand it, tag it as English," but are you going a step further and saying if you can also understand it in Spanish at the same time, tag it as Spanish as well?

Text tags are bit weird to begin with, because we shouldn't be using text to tag images. e.g. image where female holding gun is saying "I'm male holding sword" can be tagged with english_text and gun but cannot male and sword.

However even in this case, if character is saying "no", you should be able to tell that if the character is being raped, casually waving their hands at their friends on the image or shrugging their shoulders (Finnish "no" means "well"). Hence you should be easily be able to tell what the language is supposed to be, even if the same word is used in multiple languages and if unsure, simply just use text.

English and Spanish use No in an identical way, though. A character refusing something in context would be saying No in both languages.

imo its alright to assume that the text is english by default unless context clues tell otherwise
