Re: Accessible bi-lingual forms using Adobe live-cycle designer is this possible?

Hi David,

I'm not sure how this could be done in LiveCycle Designer, but individual
tags can be associated with different languages similar to the lang
attribute in HTML. So similar to HTML you can set the primary language for
the document and then set individual PDF tags have the correct language
(French). The screen reader will automatically switch languages if it
supports both

Either you could just include multiple versions of the form in the different
languages one after the other (Like a product manual that has multiple
languages).

Or you could include the English on the top and the French translation for
each piece of text underneath it (or vice versa) to not double the number of
pages.

Thankx,
