Hi Edgar, There are quite a few people who use multiple languages on their iphones and on the mac so I’m hoping somebody else might be more helpful than I. I do switch languages in the roter regularly but I must admit that I have not had to read a text within which there would be more than language. The only thing that I have noticed is that when I am in Mail application, and I go through the list of my messages, the ones that have subject in a different language than my default are read by Voiceover rather curiously: i.e. mixture of default language trying to spell the words and the correct language reading parts of the words or letters. The automatic language switching does not work for me in this context. So I guess you are experiencing something similar.
