Hi all,

I would appreciate your opinions on whether to set a lang attribute for URLs that have English words in them (like "support" or "shop" or "warranty") for web page content that has been translated into another language.  What do you think would be most helpful for users of assistive technology who are reading the web page in a language other than English?  WCAG 2.1 SC 3.1.2 doesn't mention URLs.
