That is understood. It refers to the document's main language. Most documents
have just one main language, possibly with passages or quotes in other
languages. "Default language" corresponds with the language you define in the
html element in web pages (e.g. <html lang="en">).
This language is used by speech synthesisers (including those in screen readers
used by blind people and in reading software used by dyslexics) and for
transformation into Braille (i.e. for selecting the correct Braille table), for
example.

DC is a namespace that is typically used for metadata defined by the Dublin
Core Metadata Initiative or DCMI. See for example the DCMI Metadata Terms:
