Hi all,
As the title says, i can not get VO read automatickly other languages, for example Turkish using voice Cem, or Georgian using voice Max.
I added both of those languages in a roater, although still not working.
Am on iOs 16.5. Wonder if i'm doing something wrong, or need to do something else?
Thannks in advance for help.

You can’t use the Georgian voice with automatic language detection, because Voiceover doesn’t support Georgian natively.

Hi there,
aa, now understand. Though, what about other languages? Getting same issue.

The automatic language switching depends on if the language is supported natively by voiceover. So if you use a Turkish voice, and voiceover sees an English text on a webpage, then it'll switch to it. But it'll not switch to Georgian, as it isn't natively supported by voiceover (ie. Georgian wasn't there before installing espeak.) The same thing applies for languages like Kazakh, Persian etc.

I Also faced this issue in 16.5 update. I will use English and Hindi in Twitter. After updating to 16.5 voiceover is not reading Hindi language automatically. I thought some setting are change in voiceover. Thank you for highlighting this.
