FrameMaker Language Setting

When I publish to HTML or HTML5, FrameMaker changes the lang tag to lang="ja-JP" in the HTML output. 

  • The Language field in all the Paragraph and Character styles is set to English or As Is.
  • I stripped the page to the frame and only had  one word appearing on the page. Even with only one word on the page, the language was still changed to "ja-JP".
  • Text on the master pages is set to English (master page content should not matter, but I have to try everything).
  • 2 files in the book (out of 66) export with the language correctly set to lang="en-US".  I imported all the formats from one of the correct files to the ja-JP producing files, and still, the language persists as ja-JP in the HTML. 
  • If I save as HTML instead of publishing to HTML a lang tag is not written in the HTML, so the issue must be with the Publish option? 
  • The Language field on the General tab in the Publish Settings Outputs tab is set to English.

My question: Is there another language setting? I must be missing something. Thank you for your assistance.

    This is an odd behaviour and not one I recognise. My - guessing! - would go along the lines of the font use. Might it be that you for instance  are using MS Gothic or Mincho somewhere in the documents? Like on a reference / master page? Judging from your explanation it doesn't sound likely, I know...

    Thanks so much. I looked for MS Gothic and no dice. I don't have Mincho installed. I was surprised when I changed the character format to look for MS Gothic that the language turned to Japanese in the Search panel. I would not have guessed that. Thank you.

    What language was selected when FM was installed (if known)?

    Thank you for answering. I'm fairly certain I installed the English version.

    Try saving the two misbehaving .fm files as MIF to .mifs, open those with a plain text editor, and search for instances of "jp".
