## Description

Site Language Definition solves a common problem: your website is in your chosen
language but for some reason the browser ‘thinks’ it’s in another language.

It is particularly common to think that your site is in a different language — many
Chrome users get messages from Chrome along the lines of, “This site is in Indonesian.
Would you like Chrome to translate it?” even when the site doesn’t have a hint of
Indonesian! This has very negative SEO ramifications: Google prioritizes in its 
search results sites that it knows are in the user’s language.

Site Language Definition plugins adds the necessary language attributes to your 
website to force the browsers see the website as configured under the WordPress 
General Settings.
