Ensure the lang attribute on the html element always matches Joomla site language config. Critical for screen readers to use correct pronunciation.

Audit index.php, error.php, offline.php, component.php for correct lang output.

WCAG 2.1 AA: 3.1.1 Language of Page

✅ Verified working on suite.dev (2026-07-16).

Tested: the <html> element carries a lang attribute on every page checked (home, profile edit) — value en-us. WCAG 3.1.1 (Language of Page) satisfied.

Minor non-blocking follow-up: the value is lowercase en-us; the BCP-47 canonical form uppercases the region subtag (en-US). Browsers and assistive tech accept both, but consider normalizing to en-US.

Closing as implemented.
