Embedded social media content on the front page does not include language tag
The bottom of the front page has an embedded feed of posts from the accessibility supervision unit on social media service X (formerly Twitter). The posts are mainly in Finnish and Swedish, but the social media service in question does not make it possible to tag the language used in the posts (“tweets”), and it has not been possible to display this information in the embedded feed on the front page either. This means that any content with natural language strings that deviate from the default natural language of the website content cannot be determined programmatically.
