JAWS Language Detection...

We're still trying to sort through the usage of JAWS to help us in
converting our Web Sites over to be W3C WAI compliant. We are currently
having a small problem with document language detection. We have HTML files
in both French and English, and the language is specified properly in HTML
at the top of the file. In IBM's HomePage Reader, there is a setting to
automatically switch to languages as marked up. Does JAWS have such an
automatic detection? We seem to have to manually specify the language to
use.

Any help appreciated.
