The problem is not on the page but in the OS if the user Lang is set the
elements will be spoken in the default it's only the content that is spoken
in the different Lang I am not sure sf will do anything about this. Is the
hole page Lang set or just the content if the page itself is not set then
this is the behavior that should be happening

Subject: [WebAIM] Jaws reverts to default language setting when ARIA menu
structures are focussed

Here is an issue which I have reported to Freedom Scientific which would be
of interest to Jaws users who frequently access sites using languages other
than English. This also seems to be the case with NVDA 2012.3 I have not
yet tested with the new release candidate.

when I access http://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew/demos/index-fra.html
the Jaws language reverts to English when accessing the menu structures on
the page. I have consulted the web developers of this resource who have
indicated that the Language does not change on these elements. Our web
pages are using these features so it is important for our French users to
have their language used for this content.

To add to Birkir's comments, it is also important that AT users report
problems that they experience with their AT so that new features and
functionality can be corrected quickly.
