<p>This wordpress plugin adds a meta box for specifying html lang=”” language per post.</p>
<h3>The problem this plugin solves</h3>
<p>WordPress allows us to specify site-wide language defaults like so:</p>
<pre><code><meta http-equiv="content-language" content="es">
</code></pre>
<p>The problem comes about if you have blog posts in various languages. Personally I write posts in either English or Norwegian. And since English is set as the site-wide language posts that are in Norwegian end up looking kinda weird due to weirdly placed <code>-</code> (hyphenations).</p>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>The solution is to add more specific html <code>lang</code> attributes when needed.</p>
<pre><code><article id="" class="" lang="vi">
</code></pre>
<p>For example this specifies that the post is in Vietnamese. This plugin enables a meta box when editing posts where you may specify the post’s language.</p>
<h3>Contributing</h3>
<p>This plugin was made in a jiffy. But by all means do suggest improvements. For instance the plugin obviously lacks testing code.</p>

<p>Site Language Definition solves a common problem: your website is in your chosen language but for some reason the browser ‘thinks’ it’s in another language.</p>
<p>It is particularly common to think that your site is in a different language — many Chrome users get messages from Chrome along the lines of, “This site is in Indonesian. Would you like Chrome to translate it?” even when the site doesn’t have a hint of Indonesian! This has very negative SEO ramifications: Google prioritizes in its search results sites that it knows are in the user’s language.</p>
<p>Site Language Definition plugins adds the necessary language attributes to your website to force the browsers see the website as configured under the WordPress General Settings.</p>
