Description

When the footer is nested inside the main element, it loses its aria role, and NVDA does not communicate the visitor that the element has contentinfo landmark.

Original description by @alexstine

There is no contentinfo landmark or footer HTML5 tag on the home page. Please add this above the language translate widget as this is footer content.
