UBL-DT-19
What does UBL-DT-19 mean? Language identifier attribute should not be present
Why did my invoice fail UBL-DT-19?
The languageID attribute should not be present on text elements in an EN 16931 UBL invoice. The core model does not qualify free-text fields with a language identifier, so the attribute is outside the model and validators warn. Send text without it.
