3.2.2 states that compliance can be achieved by advising the user of the behaviour before using the component. My view is that the Select Language label does not do this because it does not indicate that the language will change immediately.

The guideline and techniques do not refer to announcing the change after it has happened, so that would not appear to be a requirement for compliance, nor a means of achieving it.
