meet it
<title> names your page, and lang says its language.
The <title> lives in the head. Its words appear on the , the little label at the top of the window, and in search results. Keep it short and clear.
Add a lang attribute to the <html> tag to say which language the page is in. Use a : en for English, fr for French, cy for Welsh.
Screen readers use lang to pick the right voice, so your words sound right when they are read out loud.
