The lang pseudo-class will match the elements based on the document language. This could be set via the lang HTML attribute, an HTTP or <meta> information.
There will be wildcard (*) matching selectors in CSS4.
# Syntax
Copy
:lang(language) {
/* declarations */
}
# Example
Copy
:lang(en) {
color: red;
}
:lang(de) {
color: blue;
}
While all elements with an English language will have a red color, the German language based text will have an blue color.
