Hello Anders, It seems to happen with just one voice installed and only French set as a language. I don’t often use our French-language computer, except to answer questions and when I know I’m going to have to teach something specific. My own MacBook Air runs in English with a French voice installed, and I’m still running Sierra as I don’t like the voice switching in High Sierra. As for the bad localisation into French, I assume that each country’s subsidiary checks the localisation for their particular language and, although for sighted people, the French localisation is fine, VoiceOver has been acquiring more and more translation errors with each new level of the OS since the betas became public. I know that Apple France won’t talk to any organisation working with visually-impaired users of Apple products as many of us have tried to communicate with them over the years.
