* Summary of Amaya bug: (8.2+ WinXP) Selecting "Lang" from the Attributes menu does not insert the correct language codes (in fact it doesn't insert any, as detailed below). Since correct language markup is a Priority 1 Accessibility checkpoint, it ought to be fixed. Detail: The bug isn't new to 8.2+ (I noticed it in 8.2). Try the following: select some text in a paragraph, open the Atrributes menu, select Lang, choose a language (French, Spanish) and press Apply. Amaya inserts <span xml:lang="" lang=""> ... </span> around the selected text in the source, i.e., the lang attribute is set to "" (empty string) instead of inserting the correct two-letter language code, "fr" or "es". You can also try selecting a higher-level container element such as the <p> element, using the F2 key. Apply the language attribute and you get <p xml:lang="" lang=""> (empty again). Try selecting the entire html using the F2 key and you get <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="" lang=""> .
