Re: VoiceOver lang="" compatibility

and I would recommend that you still "chase-up Apple" so they hear the 
feedback and address the need. 

I recommend the same for IBM because it is when the teams hear over and 
over the need for something that it gets prioritized higher.

As far as I?m aware macOS doesn?t have support for automatic language 
switching in VoiceOver. iOS does however.

Hi Everyone
 
Before I chase-up Apple, has anyone else experienced a compatibility issue 
with the lang=?? attribute for VoiceOver?
 
Something like the following reads/pronounces correctly in JAWS and NVDA 
but VoiceOver tries to read the Spanish marked-up version phonetically as 
English:
 
<p>Translate es un servicio gratuito de traducción automática 
multilingüe</p>
<p><span lang="es">Translate es un servicio gratuito de traducción 
automática multilingüe</span></p>
 
Is this a known bug? I thought it may have been discussed before on the 
mailing list but couldn?t find anything with a search.
 
I also tested VoiceOver with the Webaim Document Language example with no 
success.
 
Thanks
