    This error should not be occurred But I am seeing errors in Bing Webmaster:
    The page is missing meta language information.

    Recommended action
Use <meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-gb'> tag in the <head> section of your page, where 'en-gb' stands for the culture code of the language and country/region the content applies to. Alternatively use the lang='en-gb' attribute on either the <html> or the <title> tag .
Example:
<head>
    <meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-gb'>
</head>

    Please Help.

    @akiraanastasia Could you please provide us with an example URL of one of the pages where this is occurring?

    Also, can you please provide us with the exact error that you are seeing in Bing Webmaster tools?

    Error is on the homepage, and some posts:
    https://globaltechgadgets.com/
    https://globaltechgadgets.com/best-laptop-brands-in-the-world/

    About exact error: I have copied it already in topic. It is same as above. Webmaster say: The page is missing meta language information.

    And then that code, showing how to solve error.

    What i was wondering is How Yoast could miss this basic schema. So I asked here. Never saw such error before. May be its a update bug?

    Hi @akiraanastasia,

    Thanks for more information. Just a few points to help you solve the problem:

    1. The warning is related to a missing HTML language attribute, so it’s not related to the schema data. To make sure, we checked the homepage in the the Google Structured Data Testing tool and found that the language appears with no errors. See a screenshot.

    2. The lang attribute would be set by themes or multilingual plugins, not by Yoast SEO. The most common practice is to add the language using the html tag, not a meta tag. See the language_attributes() example in the WordPress code reference.

    The page source of the example pages shows that open <html> tag after the doctype is missing, so this is most likely the cause of the warning. See the following screenshot.

    We recommend adding this to your theme or contacting your theme developer to solve the problem.

    3. If the theme does have the html tag, we recommend completing a conflict check to see if you can identify the problem.

    Hope this helps!
