Patrick, Diego & Jixor, thank you.
Is every page on your site in both chinese and english, all in one
page?
Some pages contain two languages and that was the reason I thought
'lang=en' isn't quite appropriate.
I guess I must draw the dice and pick one.
According to WCAG 1.0:
4.3 Identify the primary natural language of a document. [Priority 3]
For example, in HTML set the "lang" attribute on the HTML element. In
XML, use "xml:lang". Server operators should configure servers to
take advantage of HTTP content negotiation mechanisms ([RFC2068],
section 14.13) so that clients can automatically retrieve documents
of the preferred language.
Techniques for checkpoint 4.3
Is this 'clients' refers to normal browsers (Opera, Firefox for
example) or Screen reader (including Apple's VoiceOver)? If the
later, I don't think there is Screen reader that can speak both
Eastern Asian language and English (except one make by Indian,
Japanese or Chinese then there is hope :) I heard Chinese has one but
only work for PC ). Up till this point, the whole purpose of lang
attribute is at fault. Will WCAG2 amend this or perhaps introduce a
new attribute for bilingual site?
