New description:

 1) Button to move forward has no text. There needs to be some kind of text
 in the step button for screen reader users to know what's happening. Patch
 adds text 'Set'.

 2) Focus is being manipulated so that radio buttons can only be navigated
 when fieldset is focused, but the fieldset can't receive focus from the
 keyboard. Patch adds `tabindex='-1'` so that the fieldset can receive
 focus.

 3) Languages are written in native language, but have no lang attribute to
 inform screen reader how to pronounce the language. Patch adds
 `lang="$language['language']"` -- this will not be complete, because the
 WP language profiles do not match the ISO 639 language code list
 http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php. Might be a good
 idea to set up a language reference so that these can be mapped
 appropriately.

 4) For sighted keyboard users, navigating the language list does not
 trigger scrolling in the language container. This means that any user who
 can't use a mouse to navigate the list will not be able to select their
 language if it's outside the default visible options. Needs: trigger
 scrolling one keypress. And I'm not sure how to do that.
