Hello AppleVis,

How do I get Voice Over to read German content i German? I can only get it to announce the keyboard and German keys in German, but not content like web content. I'm on an iPhone 7Plus with the latest iOS.

Hi there. If you haven't already, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Speech. The last thing on the screen is a button that says "Add New Language". Select German and it will appear in the main speech screen. Click "More Info" if you want to change the voice (I almost always do this with foreign languages, as the advanced voices are obviously much better).
Having done this, use the rotor (make that spinning motion with your fingers on the screen). Turn it to the left until you hear "language", then flick down for German. Everything should then read in German. Hope that helps.

Best,
Daniel

I have already done all the above. German doesn't appear in the rotor.
