Hello Thanks Divine Attah and all the prior and post work, we have a new language selector in the footer in www.debian.org, that closed the bug #924889 with MR 1004. However, I have noticed HTML validation errors, related to the attribute hreflang used in the different "options" of the language selector. For example for Spanish I'm getting these warnings: *** Errors validating /srv/www.debian.org/www/mirror/index.es.html: *** Line 100, character 55: there is no attribute "HREFLANG" First I thought that maybe "hreflang" is an HTML5 attribute and we could ignore it for now (see bug #1009971), but I tried to build webwml/english/mirror/index.wml changing the reference to "template" to "template5" (see bug #980921), and the page built fine, uploaded it to https://cosas.larjona.net/debian/index.en.html and the HTML5 online validator available here https://html5.validator.nu/ still outputs warnings like: Attribute hreflang not allowed on element option at this point. From line 96, column 2; to line 96, column 70 /option>↩ <option value="index.da.html" title="Danish" hreflang="da" lang="da">dansk< So I believe that there is an issue and probably hreflang cannot be used in "option" items. My HTML/HTML5 skills are not enough, can somebody help? (OTOH I don't know why I'm not getting validation errors for all the pages, and only the mirror/index page. In https://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/validate/en I have seen similar warnings in other pages, but not all the pages that use the footer either. Maybe our validation script does not try check all the files).
