This has been annoying me for a while so now I found the trick let me share this :
\nI have Vista fr-FR, my keyboard is fr-fr and Expression Web<\/strong> in english. Each time I write some text in an html page I get a <span lang=fr”>…<\/span<\/strong>> inserted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Result: my pages are full of silly <span lang=”fr”>, and they are twice the size they should be!<\/p>\n

Here is what I found from a FrontPage MVP :<\/p>\n

“To keep the <span lang=”en-XX”> from being inserted into your html code. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Tools > Page Editor Options > General Tab > in the spelling section set “Default Page Language” to English.
\n2. Set “Default Fonts” to Unicode or US\/Western European (ISO) though I suppose (Windows) would work as well but might not work so well for people not using Windows based computers.
\n3. Site Settings > Language set to match 2 above.
\n4. Check Ignore the keyboard when deciding the encoding of new pages checked. <\/span><\/p>\n

All three were required in most cases though some people had better luck
\nwith 1-3 and 4 unchecked. Why the variation on 4 I do not know. It also
\nseems to stick better if under Site Settings > General use meta data is also
\nchecked.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel free to try this but for me nothing changed, I tried all settings of combination but still have thesespan inserted each time I type any text in a page.<\/p>\n

Remove from html head pages in Frontpage 2003\u00a0 your : <\/strong><\/p>\n

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text\/html; charset=iso-8859-1″ \/><\/strong><\/p>\n

and<\/strong><\/p>\n

<META NAME=”Language” CONTENT=”fr”><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
