You can change it manually from header.php file like this: http://screencast.com/t/mKvnznEPb

Hi Support,
I have the same question like Tomdouble. I tried to open the Screenshot from Lucian but this Links seems to be broken.
Which code do I have to replace with the existing one
<!doctype html >
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9]> <html class="ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <!--<![endif]-->
when I want to set it to language german Austria? The meta is here: “de-AT”
And a further question. Google Search Console told me that I have not set a “hreflang-Tag” yet.
What does this mean? And which code should a use and whre should I put this code?
Thanks for your reply
With best Regards, Karl
Hi,
the language attributes should change automatically when you change your wordpress language from wp-admin. We indeed may have a problem with the lang attribute for older internet explorer browsers (8 & 9) – to fix this you can edit the header.php file and change this en to de-AT http://screencast.com/t/x5JeHnjfH6at .
In the next update we will fix this issue.

Hi Radu,

And do you have a solution for my secon question too?
And a further question. Google Search Console told me that I have not set a “hreflang-Tag” yet.

Which Code do I have to inlcude to set the “hreflang-Tag” ?
In Google Search Page my Website is listed already but beside there is a Link “Translate this Site”. But this Site is already in german Language.
In Google Search Console I get the message that my Site has not set a “hreflang-Tag” yet so this could causing this Issues I described above.
Many thanks for your Reply,
Karl
