Language meta tag

Google reports that I don't have a language designated, but I have the following in the heading:
<meta name="language" content="en" />

Another way was suggested to use this instead:
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />

But where does it go?

Re: Language meta tag

You could put that at the top of your skin in the <head>.

Re: Language meta tag

That's where I have the <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />.

Put the html statement there in addition to the above, or as a substitute for it?

Re: Language meta tag

Both should work together, they're different meta tags.

Re: Language meta tag

Back again ;-(

When I view the source, neither one of those statements appear?

Re: Language meta tag

I'm going to assume you're editing the wrong skin file.  You should be editing:

{public}/skins/Desktop/skin.php

If you're using the Desktop skin.

Re: Language meta tag

The W3C standard is to pull the lang="en-us" out of the <html>  line.   I put that expression in the desktop and mobile skins.   I also put that expression into the pages on my website pages and that cleared up the SEO error of missing a language definition.
