Portals default root language code `html lang=mul` seems insufficient
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There are a number of misconceived language treatments in source code:

  • a non-dominating, uncommon language code mul introduced in 6ea69c5b3a2cb73ccacd8b08affbbd10172ceb33 (?)
  • no clear overriding attributes on various localized elements, .central-textlogo-wrapper for example

Although mul is a valid language code for multiple languages, it should probably not be used and rather the dominant language should be set on the root element.
