Thanks for the reply, Leonard.

Setting it to "es" doesn't work either. (The examples in ISO
32000-1:2008, 14.9.2.2 are actually "en-US" and "es-MX".)

If this is not a bug I wonder whether acroread =>7 requires the document
to be marked as tagged PDF to consider reading languages.

Thanks again,


Pablo
