Hi, thanks for reporting.
The reporter expects the data entered into form fields in the pages 1-2 to be automatically replicated on the subsequent pages (with different language versions of the document). This works on the official Adobe reader, at least on Windows.
This seems related to embedded JavaScript in the document. For example, the PDF object number 297 contains the snippet "event.value=this.getField("b4").value;", which (I assume) fills the field with the value of another field and (I also assume) this is not executed.
