The document is in Persian would be idiomatic spoken English.
The language of the document is Persian would also fly.
"Document language" is not ungrammatical, but I do find it to be unidiomatic. It strikes my ear as techno-speak, the sort of thing we'd read in a specification produced by a standards body.

Exactly. Techno-speak. "...why it's a good idea to declare your document language and how to use the lang attribute correctly." Essentially, "document language" follows the conventions that are usually in effect when choosing property names and the names of database columns.– TᴚoɯɐuoJun 21, 2016 at 16:50
