  • Hi Kvvv,

    I had had the same question before.
    If I understand your question correctly, probably the answer is the following:
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
    Insert the above on your header.php
    The language is automatically switched.
    It passes the HTML5 Validation as well.

    Hi createpop

    Tried it but didn’t work. The result on the screen https://prntscr.com/u7ay5c

    Hi,

    I guess you are missing the end tag “>” at the last.
    I hope you can fix it.

    When editing the code, there are two closing brackets, but one is not displayed on the site

    The code is correct. When I check my header.php I see this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta ...

    If I check the page source then the language is replaced by the current language set (nl-BE):

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="nl-BE">
<head>
<meta ...

    When I check I see this:
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
    But if I check the page source I see:
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>

    But my tag <html> located in _layout.twig

    It looks that the function is not called. Can you try to switch debug on in wp-config.php?

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

    Or mayby it does not return the correct language. Is the language you switched to correctly installed in the Language Management (qTranslate Configuration)?

    I think correctly. When switching the language, the language code is added to the url. <Linl> hreflang works correctly
