Argh why does my site think it is Vietnamese?

9 replies
I have recently launched an opencart site and a theme applied to it. After applying the theme Google now keeps offering to translate the site from Vietnamese to English.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Your first lines should look like:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
    <head>
    	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
    There is no line like this needed:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Delete it and change your first lines in your code, let me know when it's done so I can recheck.

    There are several other coding errors:

    [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.vipcases.co.uk/ - W3C Markup Validator

    Normally pretty easy to fix.

    <head
    Now you have 2 <head> ;-) delete the second one.

    When looking at your code I saw that you have an empty line before the doctype...

    Please catch me on skype, there are some more errors that need to be fixed.
