We can specify the language for the entire PDF in the File/Properties dialogue.

But I don't believe there's a way in Acrobat Pro to specify that a particular paragraph (or any amount of selected text) uses a particular language.

Or have I missed a new feature in the latest version of Acrobat?
Let us know if that's possible!

And I, too, agree with Duff on the priorities. The Title and other metadata settings, meaningful links, and artifacting background images should also be done, but when overlooked, they usually don't provoke an insurmountable barrier to AT users that prevent them from using and understanding a PDF.

Duff's list are the core requirements for accessibility. Without them, you don't have an accessible PDF.
