HTML Language attribute

I set the HTML on a customer's website (Brizy Cloud) attribute to German by injecting the code

 

<script>

const html = document.querySelector("html");

if (html) {

html.setAttribute("lang", "de");

}

</script>

 

Now the check with https://freetools.seobility.net still shows it's set to English. See screenshots... Any idea what to do? Thanks a lot for your help!!

  Hello!

  Please add some space between code lines and elements:

  <script>
  const html = document.querySelector("html");
  if (html) {
  html.setAttribute("lang", "de");
  }
  </script> 

  Kind regards,

  Hi, I added spaces like you said (see screenshot), but no change (again see screenshot) – it still seems to be set to English instead of German. Here the project again: https://www.brizy.cloud/projects/5918628/editor/page/45282 Any ideas? Thanks!! Hans-Joachim

  Hi Nelea,

  I was aware of the article - I proceeded as described in the article and still seobility shows, that the language is set to English instead of German.

  Can you please have a thorough look at it? 

  Thanks

  Hajo

  PS: I posted my reply here at the same time when I send the email. Do you check the forum replies? Please confirm, or let me know how to reply ... Thanks!

  Hello!

  Thank you for your patience. 

  We are changing the HTML lang using JS, and Google understands it. Unfortunately, when you check your page using some instruments, they won't show you the changes. 

  We will add some changes to add visibility for the instruments as well. 

  So don't worry, if a script is added - it is working.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Kind regards,

  Mihail
