Yes, report to nvda as well.

If I get to it I'll report back.

Thanks everyone for all your efforts. A change in language wouldn't be
an unreasonable expectation, but the attribute inside the anchor tag
should still be respected, in my mind.

Thank you for the JAWS github; I'll take a look. Could this qualify as
an issue to report to NVDA as well?

Thank you,
Sarah

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.
