Title: Accessibility issue – wrong lang=”” and aria-label Last modified: March 5, 2024 --- # Accessibility issue – wrong lang=”” and aria-label * [Michaela Vranková](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vrankova/) * (@vrankova) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessibility-issue-wrong-lang-and-aria-label/) * There is a wrong setting of the element
in language parameter. It also affect the translation <`form aria-label="">`. **This is an accessibility issue.** - wrong: CF7 form sets the language of the form on the frontend depending on user settings (users > profile > language). - correct: The form should set the language depending on the site settings ( settings > general > site language). If the site is multilingual, the form should respect the language of the page. * When I have general settings in english, but editor has spanish user settings, the web page has lang=”en-US”, but CF7 has lang=”es-ES”.

Parameter Lang is Spanish, Czech and Slovak: - “> - “> - “> * The language setting of the form is depending on what language I set for the user who created the form. * Page language lang=”en-SK” * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessibility-issue-wrong-lang-and-aria-label/#post-17481374) * The forms are seemingly working correctly. If you see the language of the `aria- label` attribute value as a problem, it depends on the locale of the form. * See [Contact form in your language](https://contactform7.com/contact-form-in-your-language/) for details of how to create a localized contact form. If you look for a simple plugin for multilingual site management, I recommend [Bogo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bogo/). * Thread Starter [Michaela Vranková](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vrankova/) * (@vrankova) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessibility-issue-wrong-lang-and-aria-label/#post-17483434) * The problem is that the form takes the locale of the form from user settings not from global site settings. It makes accessibility issue. * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessibility-issue-wrong-lang-and-aria-label/#post-17483732) * Could you tell us why you think deciding the form locale based on the authoring user’s locale is a problem? * Thread Starter [Michaela Vranková](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vrankova/) * (@vrankova) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessibility-issue-wrong-lang-and-aria-label/#post-17559154) * I think that if the pages are in a given language, the form on this site should also respect that language, i.e. the global settings. For example, I made a website in Slovak. I had the WordPress environment set to Czech. If I hadn’t checked the accessibility – i.e. aria-label and studied the code of the page, I wouldn’t have found out that the form on the page has the language set to Czech. And I think that’s a problem. * A lot of developers don’t look at the output code of the site and so they may not find out that it’s different than they wanted.
