| Summary | 20674: Invalid html lang attribute set for Dutch informal leading to weird auto-translate behavior | ||||
| Description | Using language Dutch informal sets an invalid html lang attribute, which results in incorrect auto-translation. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Steps to reproduceCreate any survey and set the default language to Dutch informal In my case there was a question about the gender of your child ('Wat is het geslacht van je kind'). The user had the browser setup to auto-translate English to Dutch. I've received a screenshot where the word 'kind' (= child) was interpreted as an English word meaning 'type/sort', so the question translated to the equivalent of 'What is the gender of your sort' (which makes no sense). Expected resultThe question is shown as-is. Actual resultThe question was partially translated. I believe this was caused by an invalid lang attribute value, it was rendered as <html lang="nl-informal">, which is not a valid value according to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_language_codes.asp. It should just use "nl", for regular Dutch and for Dutch informal. | ||||
