jan-heinS	Background of the issue: I am trying to resolve an issue regarding the lack of alt-tags generated on the flags used in your language selector on my website. My SEO software recognizes these flags as images, and notes that there is no alt-tag added to these flags. Is there any way these alt-tags can be added to these images? Symptoms: AIOSEO giving me a notice that the alt-tags are missing, no functional setbacks on the website itself. Questions: Is there a way to manually add the alt-tags to the images used in the language selector?
