I’m modifying the subject here. This thread has really taken off and I feel a little sheepish for Ramy seeing his name all the time right was. Anyhow, I’m still running Mojave, and for me the automatic language detection does not appear to be working at all. I tried reading Tim’s French words, and VO did not change its voice at all. Is there perhaps something in systemwide preferences relating to language that we’re maybe overlooking? I have Victoria as my default voice.
