How to Add “lang” Attribute to a Blogger Template
Adding the "lang" attribute into the html tag specifies the default language of the website's content. Some common lang attributes are "en" for English, "ja" for Japanese, "es" for Spanish, "fr" for France and so on.
To specify your language, go to the "Edit HTML" page of your blog.
Your blog's XML code will start with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html b:version='2' class='v2' expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'> <head>
Now add lang='en-US' code into the html tag like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en-US' b:version='2' class='v2' expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>Note: "en-US" means English - United States. Simply change it with your language code.
Final result will look like this:
