Change HTML source language in Rise course
NadineBergmann : You have discovered a "bug" in how courses are published.
I just did a test in which I set the Rise Labels to German, as would be done for a course in German. Yet when I published it, it still shows html lang = "en" (indicating the page is in English). Which, as your question stated, is a problem, because a screen reader would say words based on English pronunciation instead of German.
At this point, that means you'll need to open your HTML source files with a text application, and then edit them to change the language from English to Dutch.
By the way, I would have done my testing in Dutch, but the Labels are only available in English, French, German, and Spanish.
JoseTansengco : The publishing settings should have a way to indicate the language to be used in the HTML header tag. And that should be a priority.
Judy, unfortunately if you change the html so lang="nl", once the course loads it changes back to lang="en" so editing the html in a text editor is not a solution anymore, I believe it used to be but there must have been a recent change to prevent this.
Although you could add lang="nl" to the <body> tag, it stays. But I'm not sure how this will affect translation software.
