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.

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".

And no Text Insets that might be bringing in anything odd?

No Text insets used. I think that I need to look at the .sts file, but I don't know what program to use to view it. Thank you for answering my questions. If you know how to edit an .sts file, please let me know. Thanks!!!

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.
