Hi! I converted a Green Track template into rtl in order to write in Hebrew (at https://shiatsuhebrew.blogsome.com), and I understand I need to declare the main language (Hebrew) of this blog in order to be well interpreted by browsers and searchers. For what I have seen here (I am a complete newbie so please consider it) it seems to me I should change the definition in RSS 2.0 which reads “<language>en</language>” into “<language>he</language>”. Am I right? Else, how do a change the language declaration?

Thank you!

puhh.. I think you have to do this in the wordpress index.php – right?

Probably not in the index, but in the header.

Thanx!
After reading around, I defined the language thus:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html: lang=”he”>
<html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head>

Is this OK? And: Shoud this be enough for browsers and searchers purposes?

Concerning bidirectional writing it seems to complicated an issue for me right now. I plan to write in this blog in Hebrew, so if there is a small piece here and there in a ltr language I will deal with it locally. For the time being at least.

Well, the problem is solved. Either as I wrote before or thus:<html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” lang=”he”>, it works. I just was not able to see the difference for I have both Firefox and IE in Hebrew versions, so both of them interpreted well the Hebrew texts even without defining lang. Luckily, Firefox did not with a blog at blogspot in which the language was not defined, so I was able to check it there.

Thanks for refering me to the right sources, that did it.
