HTML lang

  • The HTML lang attribute can be used to declare the language of a Web page or a portion of a Web page. This is meant to assist search engines and browsers.
  • According to the W3C recommendation you should declare the primary language for each Web page with the lang attribute inside the <html> tag, like this:
    <html lang="en">
    ...
    </html>
Note: 'Lang' means language and 'en' is language code.

In XHTML, the language is declared inside the <html> tag as follows:
       <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    ...
    </html>
