I’ve been teaching myself German, and I have the German language added to my voiceover Rotor. I’m using the Siri voices for English and for German. I don’t know if that makes a difference one way or the other. I also have language switching turned on, but if I come across German text anywhere, voiceover attempts to read it with the English voice. I have to use the rotor and manually switch it to read it in German. Is this normal or is there a workaround for this?

Generally, unless the text…
Generally, unless the text has been coded with the language explicitly, VoiceOver would not be able to detect the German in order to switch to it. Other languages, like Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc have a completely different alphabet than the Latin alphabet, so language detection may work better in those cases though not foolproof.
Reading Text with VoiceOver in another language
Yes, that's normal.
it use to be in IOS16, 17
this was the bug in IOS 16 / 17 wich has been resolved in IOS18. now voice over will automatically speak in what ever language it detect
