Make sure your voice rotor is set to "automatically select based on language". This should cause VoiceOver to switch to then ew language.

I set it to voice automatically select based on language but I doesn't work, which languages did you try?
is there certain apps it works with? for instance if I'm reading a bilingual text, doesn't switch the language automatically? because it doesn't do that in my case.
thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is any way to enable automatic language switching using Mac OS Mojave. I work in both English and Spanish. I was creating an activity in VoiceOver for the Spanish voice Ines from infovox, and using VO X to switch to this activity. Now it doesn't work. Any ideas? I tried the instructions for making Infovox switch automatically between languages, but can't seem to find infovox in my library. Only acapella, Thanks for any help you can provide.
