Re: Lang attributes not being respected by VoiceOver in select options?

I tried this as well.
It appears to me that the screen reader may be speaking the contents of the edit rather than the option being selected.
Perhaps the best approach might be to modify the lang setting for the edit to match the option being selected.

Not sure that this would work however. The screen reader might not recognize the change of language without a virtual screen refresh.
