Hello,

If I set the lang attribute on an <a> tag Voice over pronounce it in the targeted language.
But the same thing does not work on <button> or <input type="submit">
You can reproduce the bug with this link: https://codepen.io/lbineau/pen/OYqBeY
I don't know if it happens on other screen readers.

Has anyone encounter this issue before? How to fix it?

Best regards
