Yep! Exactly!
Using the Clips Editor
You can add/edit all your clips by pressing:
- Tools > Clips Editor (Ctrl+Alt+C)
Then you can create multiple Clips to help mark up languages like:
- - -
Name: English
Text: <span class="english" lang="en" xml:lang="en">\1</span>
Name: French
Text: <span class="french" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">\1</span>
Name: German
Text: <span class="german" lang="de" xml:lang="de">\1</span>
- - -
Side Note: See the
\1? In Clips, that means Sigil will insert "whatever you have highlighted" in that spot!
Side Note #2: If you constantly find yourself copying/pasting/inserting large "templates" of code, Clips are great for that too!

Setting Up the Clips Window/Toolbar
Now, if you press:
you can show an easy-to-click window of all your Clips. For example, I set mine up in Sigil's lower-left corner:
Or, if you prefer toolbars, you can:
- View > Toolbars > Clips Bar
- View > Toolbars > Clips Bar2
to enable extra toolbars up top:
Actually Using The Clips!
Now, if you had text like:
Code:
<p>This is an example of English.</p>
<p>This is an example of François.</p>
<p>This is an example of Deutsch.</p>
you can:
- Highlight your word/sentence/text/code.
- Click on a Clip.
and Sigil will insert that Clip code (around your highlighted text):
Code:
<p>This is an example of <span class="english" lang="en" xml:lang="en">English</span>.</p>
<p>This is an example of <span class="french" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">François</span>.</p>
<p>This is an example of <span class="german" lang="de" xml:lang="de">Deutsch</span>.</p>

You'll probably want to read a ton of all my tips/tricks.
I've written 2200 posts since 2012 all about this PDF->ebook + ebook conversion + ebook cleaning stuff.
For example, you can probably type this into your favorite search engine:
Code:
Sigil clips Tex2002ans site:mobileread.com
language markup Tex2002ans site:mobileread.com
and come across many of my explanations/tutorials, like:
On PDF->EPUB itself... you may be interested in my recent posts in:

Oh? What's the project? Do you work for a publisher?
