Setting correct html lang in header

Permalink September 26, 2011 at 12:01 PM

I just updated the Blank HTML5 Boilerplate theme today and added a piece of code that I would like to share here because it might be of general interest. It is used to make sure that the html-lang attribute gets the correct language even if the site uses multiple ones through the "internationalization" add-on. If the add-on is not present or the language is not defined, it falls back to the LANGUAGE constant instead.

<?php if( Package::getByHandle('multilingual') ) {
      $mh = Loader::helper('section', 'multilingual');
      if ( $lang = $mh->getLanguage() == "") {
         $lang = LANGUAGE;
      }
    } else {
      $lang = LANGUAGE;
   }?>
<html lang="<?=$lang?>">

Any feedback is apprechiated.
