Hi Sarah,

I just ran a page having page language set to Fr and the title of the link
is spoken in English as you said. If I change my NVDA language to French
the title too is read in French.
Steps you might know to change the language in NVDA but for my satisfaction
they are
Nvda key + n opens the NVDA settings.
Go to Preferences > Voice settings > Language and change to French.
Hoping that the French website readers set their screen reader preferred
language to French this may work.

This is a great observation, thanks for bringing that up.
