In the context of CSS, I typically use the word "property" as a 
technical term for the first part of a CSS declaration and speak about 
"feature," "characteristic" or some such term when I mean a property in 
the dictionary sense.

So it may be that calling ':lang' a property will confuse some people. 
The technical term in CSS is "pseudo-class" or more generally 
"selector." (Further down in the article you indeed use those terms.) 
Maybe there is a creative way to avoid the word "property"?
