FAQ

Which PDF language value does this checker look for?

It checks the language metadata exposed by the PDF parser, commonly a tag such as en, en-US, or ko-KR.

Why is PDF language metadata important?

It helps screen readers choose appropriate pronunciation and speech rules.

Can a PDF declare more than one language?

A document has a primary language; language changes inside tagged content need more detailed authoring.

Does this checker detect the language from the text?

No. It checks declared metadata and does not guess language from document content.

Can this tool add missing language metadata?

No. It produces a report so the metadata can be corrected in an authoring or PDF remediation tool.
