Actual Results
The default language for the homepage in Jira Align is not specified in the HTML code via the lang attribute on the <html> element. As a result, assistive technologies may misinterpret the content.
Expected Results
The primary language of the page should be programmatically defined in accordance with its content.
To achieve this, ensure that an appropriate "lang" attribute is specified on the <html> element, accurately reflecting the primary language used on the page.
In this case, add lang="en" to the <html> element.
Code Snippet:
<html lang="en">
......
</html>

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
