How to add lang attribute to site title?
5 replies · Started by wekhter on June 21, 2018
Hi, I have a site that is majority in English but some portions are in Japanese. In order for the characters to be displayed properly, I need to define the lang attribute to Japanese text strings, ie. <span lang="ja-jp">日本のサイト</span>
This is simple to do for text within posts/pages, but the site title is also in Japanese. How can I apply the correct lang to the site title in the header?
Hi there,
So you need to wrap the site title in that <span> element?
@Tom It would be cleanest if I could just add the lang added to h1.main-title but if necessary wrapping the text in a <span> would be OK too.
Try adding this function:
add_filter( 'generate_site_title_output', 'tu_add_lang_to_title' );
function tu_add_lang_to_title() {
return sprintf(
'<%1$s class="main-title" itemprop="headline" lang="ja-jp">
<a href="%2$s" rel="home">
%3$s
</a>
</%1$s>',
( is_front_page() && is_home() ) ? 'h1' : 'p',
esc_url( apply_filters( 'generate_site_title_href', home_url( '/' ) ) ),
get_bloginfo( 'name' )
);
}@Tom
Perfect! Thanks :) That fixed it.
Awesome, glad I could help :)
