I18N Tests: Language declarations 8
Results
This is one of a set of pages that examine whether language information is available for text processing when declared in various different
ways.
Tests on this page seek to determine which language information is picked up if both the language attribute in the html element and the meta tag declare different languages.
Note: In order to tell whether the language information is available, we test features that make use of that information
in a detectable way. Unfortunately, such features are not uniformly supported across current user agents, and so conclusions must be drawn with
care. We run control tests alongside the main test to indicate whether a particular language-sensitive feature is supported by the user agent. See the results page for more information.
Note: These are exploratory tests. The expected behaviour is not described by the HTML specification.
The html element says: <html lang="ko">. A meta statement in the head element says: <meta http-equiv="Content-Language"
content="zh" />. There is no HTTP
Content-Language information. The tests try to determine which declaration takes priority. Since a lang attribute in the html tag takes priority over an HTTP language declaration, we will test the hypothesis that Korean will win out.
Styling with :lang
Objective: Does the user agent pick up the language declaration from the html tag rather than the meta tag?
CSS in the style element says: div:lang(ko) { background-color:green; ... } and div:lang(zh) { background-color:#ff6633; ...};.
If the background color of this text is orange , then :lang is supported. If so, check whether the background color of the text below is green (Korean) or orange (Chinese).
Is this green?
Automatic font assignment
Objective: Does the user agent pick up the language declaration for CJK font assignment from the html tag rather than the meta tag?
Ensure that different default fonts are assigned for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean in your browser options. Then check whether there is variation in the fonts used for the following characters.
雪 zh-CN
雪 zh-TW
雪 zh-HK
雪 ja
雪 ko
If there is variation in the above characters, check whether the
ideograph in the box uses the Korean (ko) font or a Chinese (zh) font.
雪
