Issue Summary
The language is incorrectly set to English for the HIBB page, which is in German.
Test URL
https://hibb-cloud.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HC/overview?mode=global
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the HIBB home page.
- Inspect the HTML source code of the HIBB page.
- Locate the lang attribute on the <html> tag, which is currently set to "en-US".
- Observe that the visible webpage content is in German.
Screenshot
Actual Results
The default language used on the HIBB page is German, but the lang attribute on the <html> tag is set to "en-US", which does not match the primary language of the page.
As a result, assistive technologies may misannounce or misinterpret the content.
Expected Results
Primary language should be correctly defined according to the page’s content.
Specify an appropriate 'lang' attribute on the <html> element that matches the primary language of the page. In this case, update the 'lang' attribute value to "de" for the German page.
