How to specify language of website? (HTML?)
html
Solution
Quick google search gave me this: HTTP and meta for language. tl;dr
<html lang="en">
There are other ways of specifying. If you are using apache, you can use a file extension for apache to pull the correct version based on the user-agent's given preferences. for example, name your index page `index.html.en`, `index.html.jp`, `index.html.de` and so on...
Problem
How do I specify that a page is in a certain language so search engines can understand? Is it a meta tag I put at the top? If it is, do you know if most of the search engines use this to determine language? I have converted 1 page of content in english to several different languages, and would like to include that information in the html/let the search engines know which language they are dealing with.
