Proposal of a new failure: F94: Failure of Success Criterion 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 due to mismatch between lang attribute value and written language A web page could have value in a lang attribute that not correspond to the real language of the text in page. Example: <html lang="es"> <body> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p lang="en">Ceci est un paragraphe.</p> </body> </html> The majority of existing evaluation tools do no detect this failure, because only confirm the existence of lang attribute, so in this case they probably obtain a false positive for 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. Correct one would be: <html lang="en"> <body> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p lang="fr">Ceci est un paragraphe.</p> </body> </html> The failure can be avoided with a human review or using a language detection tool as: https://detectlanguage.com or https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/detecting-language, among others. ---------------------------------------- José R.
