Hi All,

I wanted to know if the language property set in Paragraph/Character Style with InDesign can be exported to PDF. I am not able to get this exported to PDF. See the screenshots for reference.

Hi

 

I think I saw this question pop up by another user recently and I couldn't figure it out. 

 

The only place it shows up is here

 

 

Done by 

 

Seems whichever language I select here the 2 letter Country Code is added

et for Estonia

 

for GB it's EN-GB 

Presumee it could be EN-US if selected. 

 

Lanaguage appears to be a property for InDesign dictionary only - and can't be tagged per paragraph/characters for PDF taggings.

 

Appears to be a PDF addition of a Tag. 

 

When I look through the option in the PDF - Estonia is not even an option

 

Seems to be a limited set of languages.

 

I can type Estonia and it sticks

 

 

But it's not an option for individual paragraphs

I can add it to the entire article

Or select each individual paragraph in the tags and type in whatever I want
