* On my 2nd line of source page I have this
``
* I want to remove `lang="en-US"` only. How to do so?
Without deleting `` from my header.php
* I’m planning to write language attribute lang directly, because I want my site’s
admin’s side in English but with language attribute in my local language.
* Thanks

* Try This code in your fundction.php
* **add_filter(‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘remove_comment_styling_prompt’);**
* function remove_comment_styling_prompt($defaults) {
$defaults[‘comment_notes_after’]
= ”; return $defaults; }

* Simple. Add this to your functions file or with a plugin:
* `add_filter('language_attributes', '__return_false');`
* Or if you want to use custom string, do something like:
* ```
add_filter('language_attributes', function(){
return 'custom';
});
```

* Hi.. thanks both of you. I thought my question gonna get buried.
* Samuel’s answer works flawlessly.
* Previously I was using ‘locale’ instead of ‘language_attributes’ on filter to
change printed html language, my admin’s side got a little bit weird that some
plugins using my local language while the rest of admin using English 😀
* Thanks
