@FediTips@social.growyourown.services To set posts in correct language, is also meaningful for users relying on voice synthesizers to read (including blind people) as most screen readers now support language change

Ah, interesting, thank you for that!

Just to check I have understood correctly, do screen readers include their own translation systems, or is this just for setting the post language on Mastodon?

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Nothing to do with translation. It's pronunciation. So, English is pronounced with English tts, and so on.

Ahh, that is something that I am ashamed to say I had not even thought about. Thank you so much for raising this point!

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I honestly deactivate this function (screen reader pronunciation language change) because there are too many web sites which are badly tagged, so you find Italian-speaking web pages, which use English pronunciation instead. But as I'm a professional tester, I often use my test workstation which include every functionality possible.
