VoiceOver Voice for Secondary Language

Hi,
How do you configure the synthesizer for a secondary language when Detect Languages is on? Currently I use Alex for English and when VoiceOver detects Spanish it switches to a female voice. I installed Siri Male Spanish and put it in the rotor instead, but cannot get VoiceOver's auto-switching to use it. What am I missing? Thanks.

I've been trying to get iOS to do this for years, but it never works. It will do language autoswitching but will never respect your choice of voices. I've given up. I turned off auto switching and just switch manually via the language rotor setting. makes me think that the people implementing this feature don't actually use it.
