    Hi! I am using the WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool to evaluate my website. And I get an error related to the language https://prnt.sc/wTOHw7PkL_j1

    The explanation of the error is:

    What It Means
The language of the document is not identified or a lang attribute value is invalid.
Why It Matters
Identifying the language of the page or page elements allows screen readers to read the content in the appropriate language. It also facilitates automatic translation of content.
What To Do
Identify the document language using the <html lang> attribute with a valid value (e.g., <html lang="en">). Ensure that all lang attribute values are valid.
The Algorithm... in English
The <html lang> attribute is missing or is empty, or a lang attribute value is not a valid language identifier.

    Can you help me solve this?

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    Your current theme is missing the lang attribute from the html tag.
    To fix this, look inside your theme for your header.php or similar file where the html tag is added. Make sure you call language_attributes() to get the lang attribute.

    Here is an example of how it should look like:
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>`

    Cheers,
