Trusted Tester 11A Language of Page states that the default human language of each page can be determined how?

• A. Language is irrelevant to accessibility.
• B. Language must be specified in the meta tag only.
• C. The default human language of each page can be programmatically determined.
• D. The default language cannot be determined programmatically.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that assistive technologies determine a page’s language using the document’s language metadata, so the default language can be identified programmatically. The reliable way to convey this is by setting the language on the root element with the lang attribute, for example . This lets browsers and screen readers detect the page’s language automatically and choose the correct TTS voice, hyphenation rules, and punctuation handling. If language isn’t declared, some tools might try to guess from the content, but that’s not dependable. So, declaring the language makes it determinable by software, which is why the statement that the default language can be programmatically determined is correct. The other options downplay the importance of language, misstate how it’s declared (relying only on a meta tag), or claim it can’t be determined, all of which don’t fit accessibility best practices.
