Language attribute at the topic level
Language attribute at the topic level
I am running into an issue in trying to set the language attribute at the topic level. I can set this in Flare fine, and it displays the country flag in the XML editor and the xml:lang attribute in the text editor. However, post build, the language tag is being replaced by the Target language. Per Flare's help, the topic level should take precedence over the target level, but this does not appear to be the case. What am I missing here?

Re: Language attribute at the topic level
I realize this is an old thread, but I'm having the same issue and it's causing significant problems on my current project.
I have a project where the target language is set to Spanish (es). However, there are some untranslated pages that need to be set to English. I'm using the language attribute to display a message (via javascript) for untranslated files. So it is critical that the language attributes be correct.
I set the language attribute using the Topic Properties dialog. This is what I see in code view:
<html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" xml:lang="en">
But when I publish, this is what I see in the browser inspector on the same document:
<html xmlns:madcap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" lang="es" xml:lang="es" class="_Skins_gvsg_sideNav" data-mc-search-type="Stem" data-mc-help-system-file-name="Default.xml" data-mc-path-to-help-system="../../../" data-mc-has-content-body="True" data-mc-target-type="WebHelp2" data-mc-runtime-file-type="Topic;Default" data-mc-preload-images="false" data-mc-in-preview-mode="false" data-mc-toc-path="FLS Resources|Getting Started in FLS">
Notice that Flare has removed the English language attribute which I set and replaced it with two es attributes!!
How can I get Flare to use the attribute I specified in the topic and not add two incorrect attributes?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
