Can this audit judge your site's prose language?
It states when language-dependent copy checks were skipped.
What Check Engine measures
The check asks whether the site's prose language is supported. A supported language ends the test without a finding. Otherwise it names the detected language and explains the limit. It assigns no content-quality score or sentence-length cutoff.
This is an audit-scope notice based on the saved language decision. It describes which copy checks can run, rather than inspecting every sentence for a writing fault.
How to read the result
The notice names the language limit. Copy checks that need to understand that language are withheld. Checks of status codes, markup and links may still run. Review the text with a fluent reader.
Why it matters
Clear limits matter when a report contains a mixture of measured results and withheld judgements. Naming the language limit helps you see where the tool's answer ends and a reader who knows the language must take over.
How to fix it
Have a fluent reader review the copy using the same questions the skipped checks would ask. Check whether the page says what it does, answers its subject and gives a clear next step. Correct a mistaken language declaration when needed, but keep the site's real language instead of translating it solely to remove this notice.

Common questions
Does an unsupported prose language mean my content is poor?
No. The notice explains a language limit and assigns no content-quality score. Have a fluent reader assess the prose.
Can markup checks run when language-dependent copy checks are skipped?
Yes. Markup and links may be checked independently of prose. Status-code tests can also run when language understanding is unavailable.
Does a supported prose language trigger a scope warning?
No. A supported language ends this test without a finding. The notice is reserved for unsupported prose.
