Purpose & Notes

The purpose of this bookmarklet is to identify the presence of a document language setting as well as language settings for individual sections / phrases / words. Shadow DOMs are examined recursively.

The results are displayed visually on the page:

• A green bubble (✔) indicates a present language setting.
• A red bubble (✖) indicates a missing document language setting.
• A yellow bubble (🔍) indicates word, phrase or section with an explicit language setting.

Click on any of the info bubbles to log the associated element to the DevTools console.
