benS-31	Tell us what you are trying to do? Ensure the correct lang is displayed for the right language/translation. It seems it's setup correctly in the backend, perhaps it isn't? Please see attached screenshot. I've edited this and also re-save permalinks, but it's always showing en-GB no matter what language I'm viewing. Is there any documentation that you are following? No Is there a similar example that we can see? No What is the link to your site?

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, 1) In order to expedite handling your support requests, can you please share WPML support debug information from your site. - To give debug information, login to your site and go to WPML → Support. From there click on the “debug information” link at the bottom of the page. - Once on the “debug information” page, select the entire content of the text box and copy it. - Now go back to our support forum, find debug information box and paste it. More information on the link: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ 2) Please share URL to an example page where I can check and see the issue with HTML lang. Thanks, Drazen

Eran Helzer Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Please try to follow our documentation on how to get the current language, here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-get-current-language-with-wpml/ A possible use of the hook would be: $my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); Please update me on if this is what you were looking for.

benS-31	Hi, $my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); This only returns the single, not the full locale e.g. It returns 'de' not de_DE or 'en' and not en_GB. I use another site with wpml and... <?php language_attributes(); ?> ...works as intended, but on the website i'm currently working on, whatever language you're visiting, it only shows the en_GB locale. So I need some pro assistance as to how to fix it, my previous/original message + screenshot show that they are set up correctly per language in the backend (or so I think!), but it's not quite working as intended. I look forward to a response.

Eran Helzer Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Yes, I understand. I took a look again at your site, and it seems like the correct language code is now showing. Have you changed something that fixed this?
