404 Page Language

search What we check

Whether your custom 404 page is rendered in the same language as the rest of the site - a Rails-default English 404 on a non-English site contradicts the language the rest of the site declares.

build How to fix

1. 1 Render the 404 page in the site's own language, not the framework default.
2. 2 If you use the static public/404.html, translate it (or serve a localized error template) so its <html lang> and copy match the site.
3. 3 Visitors who hit a missing URL should get an error page in the language they were reading.
