Section 508 - Document language missing

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      The language of the document is not identified.
      The <html lang> attribute is missing or is empty.
      The language of the page is identified using the HTML lang attribute (<html lang="en">, for example).

      Why It Matters

      Identifying the language of the page allows screen readers to read the content in the appropriate language. It also facilitates automatic translation of content.

      How to Fix It

      Identify the document language using the <html lang> attribute (e.g., <html lang="en">).
