Of course it works, but there are better ways, see below.<br>

{\fontspec{FreeSans} The fox and the dog} ...<br>
<br>
Another way: you can also define \setsansfont{FreeSans} and then<br>
\textsf{The fox and the dog} should work. It is worth to read the<br>
fontspec documentation. The manual is quite long because the package<br>
is very powerful.<br>

The best way would be to translate all the captions into Malayalam and<br>
send them to Arthur Reutenauer to include them to the polyglossia<br>
package. You can them define separate fonts for English and Malayalam.<br>
The fonts will be changed automatically when the language is changed.<br>
If you have basically an English text with a few Malayalam words, you<br>
can take advantage of the ucharclasses package. You will then use:<br>
<br>
\usepackage[Malayalam]{ucharclasses}<br>
\setTransitionTo{Malayalam}{\fontspec[Script=Malayalam]{MalayalamFont}}<br>
<br>
Now the font will be changed automatically whenever a character from<br>
the Malayalam block is encountered.<br>
