Add Language indication in HTML

[hannahackermans]

Current State

Language identification covers the language of the page and the language of the parts.

• The website does not have the human language determined in the html. There is a an xml:lang attribute present, but as far as I understand it, you still need the html attribute (please correct me if I'm wrong, I could not find an unambiguous answer).

• The main language of CELL is English, but there are parts that are other languages if the records are written in other languages. These parts do not currently have their own language identification, so screen reader software would not read them out intelligibly.

Proposed changes to meet the success criteria

1. Add since the website is in English
2. If possible, add a lang attribute to parts of the texts that are not in English. This would be French for records from NT2, German for records from Adel, Spanish for records from Ciberia, and Portuguese for records from Po-ex. I don’t know how difficult this would be to do, but the combination of languages is something to discuss, especially as more non-English databases become CELL members.
