When a user chooses a Language in their user profile which differs from the Site Language on the General Settings screen, the lang attribute on the html element in the admin area is incorrect. It should reflect the user's language, but it reflects the site language.

  • Focuses accessibility added

Adding the accessibility focus since the lang attribute is very important for screen readers.

@johnbillion I wasn't able to reproduce.
site language: Spanish
user language: Italian

What I get is lang="it-IT", Maybe an edge case with specific languages?

Thanks for testing, Andrea. It appears the issue might only apply when the user language is set to English (United States) and the site language is set to something else, eg Italiano.

Oh yes, I can reproduce that with en-us as user lang. Thanks John.
