    I am developing a website that has all its content in French. Do I have to use the following tags (in bold) as shown?

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//[B]FR[/B]" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="[B]fr[/B]" lang="[B]fr[/B]">
    Code (markup):

    Hello,

    Simply use the following tags:
    <!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" xml:lang="fr" lang="fr">
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="fr" />

    Regards
    Thibaut

    You're correct. Thibaut forgot to change the "EN" to "FR" after the "STRICT//"

    If you see this link, it says:
    So do we use EN or FR?
