Hello Themler,

The themler template is not declaring the language used by joomla. It only shows html dir="ltr"> on each page of the site missing the language. This should be, in our case, html dir="ltr" lang="it-it">. How to fix??
Component.php shows the variable for this, but nothing comes out.

This is not a multilingual site issue. Only one language.

thanks

Hello,
you may add custom META tag with language

<meta name="language" content="English">

under Home tab >> Settings >> Additional HEAD HTML

Dear Aileen, this is not the way to go. Specifying language with the meta element IS NOT RECOMMENDED. No longer used in HTML5.
This seriously impairs the SEO of the site. No crawler detects that.
The language declaration must go on the html tag. Even Artisteer knew that...
Please provide a working solution.

Hello,
right now the only way to add language attribute to HTML tag is to edit the exported template files.
But please remember that the files are overwritten every time the theme is saved or exported.

The missing lang tag in the HTML-tag is an SEO disaster. Because Google uses this tag for targeting search results. Please implement imediately.
