LANG -- the language specified by the server locale

26 August 2025 - 17:41 | Version 1 | UnknownUser

This macro is used to generate the lang (and xml:lang) attribute in generated HTML pages. If {UseLocale} is enabled, it is calculated from the configure Internationalization tab → Locale sub-tab setting of {Site}{Locale}. Otherwise it defaults to en (English).

In templates the lang attribute is defined like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="%LANG%" lang="%LANG%">

Do not confuse LANG with LANGUAGE

Examples

%LANG% expands to en
