En-têtes HTTP, élément meta et informations sur la langue (HTTP headers, meta elements and language information)

Types de déclaration de langues (Types of language declaration)

These articles were translated into French thanks to Jean-Christophe Helary, of K.K. DOUBLET.

Types of language declaration describes how ‘metadata’ and ‘text-processing’ language declarations differ.

HTTP headers, meta elements and language information has been updated to read better, and the information that was to become the previously mentioned article was removed.

HTTP-Header, Meta-Elemente und Sprachinformationen (HTTP headers, meta elements and language information)

This article was translated into German thanks to Jens O. Meiert.

One tutorial and two articles have been updated, and a new article has been created from material that was moved out of the tutorial. The updates all involve major rewrites of the former text. These changes incorporate up-to-date information about how language declarations are handled in HTML5, and generally refresh and improve the previous material.

The new articles are:

Working with language in HTML (tutorial)

Why use the language attribute?

Declaring language in HTML

HTTP headers, meta elements and language information

All articles use a new HTML5-based template with additional change to the boilerplate code.
