'Web accessibility language detection with Voiceover
How does Voiceover detect language and how can I make it "speak" the same language throughout a website?
My computer is in English, I am working on a website that offers various localizations.
Voiceover can very well read <p> or <span> elements in that current local (not English) but when I focus on a <button> element, it doesn't detect the language and reads everything in English, which doesn't make sense because the text is not in English. I have the lang attribute set in <html> but it doesn't seem to help. I've even added the lang attribute to the button, but still nothing.
I have tried adding a <p> element inside of a <button> but it still does the same thing.
Is that just how Voiceover works or am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried to add the language manually in the System Settings?
Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Voice Over > "Open Voice Over Utility" > Speech > Click "+" button on the bottom to add a new language.
