# Default flag

 * Hi guys,
 * I’m having an issue with the addon.
 * When I load my site, it correctly appears in Polish by default. However, when
   I try to switch to English using the flag, I run into a problem. The default 
   flag is set to “English,” even though the site content is still in Polish.
 * To actually change the site to English, I have to:
    - Click the flag
    - Switch the language to Polish (or German)
    - Click the flag again
    - Then switch it to English
 * Only then does the translation work properly.
 * What I’d like instead is for the default language to be Polish, and after clicking
   the flag once, be able to switch directly to English.
 * Does anyone know how to fix this?
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * You have a Polish website, however in the HTML source code you have this: `<html
   lang="en">`, make sure to change it to `<html lang="pl">`
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * Edo888 I spent two days trying to figure it out and it was something so trivial!
   Thank you very, very, very much and happy Easter!
