Surendra,

Press Insert + Space Bar followed by the letter z. JAWS should switch to the default settings.

Test the page and if the issue stops, it would be something in your user settings. If it remains, we would have to look at other alternatives.

In your page are you ensuring that the P elements that contain the Spanish text have the attribute lang="" assigned to Spanish?

You should have the lang attribute assigned to English in the HTML element and Spanish assigned only in the containers that have Spanish words in them.

English would replicate down the children of the page, while Spanish would affect its parent element and its children.
