CSS Selectors

Pseudo-classes :lang

The :lang(C) pseudo-class represents an element that is in language C. Whether an element is represented by a :lang() selector is based solely on the element's language value being equal to the identifier C, or beginning with the identifier C immediately followed by "-".

Syntax

:lang(C){ properties }

Point, Note

"C" must be a valid CSS identifier and must not be empty. (Otherwise, the selector is invalid.)

Example

[style.css]

 :lang(en){
   font-style: italic;
 }

[index.html]

<body>
  <p>The man said <q lang="en">The quote is input here</q>.</p>
</body>
