Background of the issue:
I am trying to improve the accessibility of the website. I analyzed the page using a tool and received a report indicating that the attribute role="menuitem" needs a proper parent element. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link.

The tool used is: hidden link

Symptoms:
Accessibility issue with the language switcher in the menu. The report indicates that the attribute role="menuitem" needs a proper parent element.

Questions:
How can I add a proper parent element for the role="menuitem" attribute in the language switcher?
