Need to Define lang="${Language}" as global variable in mkto email template

Suraj_Singh · ‎04-16-2021

I'm working on the new email template and trying to create <html lang="${Language}"> as global variable so it will used for multiple locale based on the region (eg: ja,th,ru,ko,en) per accessibility . Generally this helps to ensure that the screen reader is pronouncing words the way they were intended

Currently its hardcored as "en" in <html section >

Or just do it like this (yes, tested):

<meta class="mktoString" default="" id="emailLanguage" mktomodulescope="false" mktoname="Email Language" /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="${emailLanguage}" xml:lang="${emailLanguage}"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
<head>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto" rel="stylesheet">
<!--Global Variables Begin-->
<meta class="mktoString" default="" id="emailTitle" mktomodulescope="false" mktoname="Email Title" />
<!--Other Meta Tags Begin-->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta content="width=device-width, minimal-ui, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0;" name="viewport" />
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>${emailTitle}</title>
<head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

The Marketo-specific <meta> tags in a template are preprocessor tags anyway. They don't appear in the final HTML output. Like tags you might use in a tag-based templating language (PHP, CFML, etc.).
