# Adjusting styles based on a language Traditionally, language HTML files would be stored separately and load language specific CSS files. But now we just store the language _strings_ separately and programmatically print the language strings within the same HTML file. Very often I find myself adjusting the style attributes a little here and there for different languages just so that it fits nicely inside a container or a navigation bar and looks the same across all languages. Its actually easy to set style attributes based on the language attribute, **lang** in the HTML element.

[This Example](http://css.co.in/examples/language-fonts.html) doesn’t change the text colour using JavaScript. JavaScript was used to change the **lang** attribute value in the **html** element.
