 * Hi all,
    i’m having problems setting up my blog’s feed language.
 * The only error i get is
 * > column 12: language must be an ISO-639 language code:
 * Now, the problem is that the language tag is empty
 *     ```
       ...
       <lastBuildDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2014 09:14:50 +0000</lastBuildDate>
       <language></language>
       <sy:updatePeriod>hourly</sy:updatePeriod>
       <sy:updateFrequency>1</sy:updateFrequency>
       ...
       ```
   
 * I want to set a value there, but i’m not quite sure how to do it?
 * Is there a better option than editing my theme’s functions.php file like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action('init','fix_rss');
       function fix__rss(){
       		update_option('rss_language','en');
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I’m not sure if this is the correct method mostly because i don’t know what caused
   the reset of the language value, so if i remove that bit of code from the functions.
   php file, it can be reset again? And if i leave it – i don’t know if i’m wasting
   resources without a reason.
