: Where is name="lc" defined as a meta tag? I've noticed that ea.com includes a <meta name="lc" content="en_us"/> tag on their website which changes for each language/country (<meta name="lc"

@Shanna517

It is not valid.

ea.com is using HTML5, but in HTML5 it is only allowed to use name values that are


defined in the specification, or
registered on the WHATWG wiki page MetaExtensions.


lc is not included.

If they were using older HTML versions (e.g., HTML 4.01), it would be valid to use this value.

As Stephen said, it is mostly likely an attempt at defining locale. In some of the web-based software that I've worked with, I've come across form values and URLs like:

<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">


Or

page.php?id=233&lc=FRA


The meta tag for "lc" is undocumented, which means that it is either a mistake or some sort of custom tag that is used for internal purposes.
