Bug 215612 – AX: iOS speaks HTML language for the role and hint text not OS language

• Status: NEW
• Component: Accessibility

[James Nurthen]

Testing the following on iOS with VO

https://codepen.io/jnurthen/live/PoNzgdq

    <div lang="fr">
    <button>en français</button>
      <label>Prénom<input type="text"></label>
    </div>

on iOS 13 VO reads
en français, Bouton (in French)
swipe right
Prénom, champ de text (in French) use the rotor to access misspelled words (in English)

on iOS 14 VO reads
en français, Bouton (in French)
swipe right
Prénom, champ de text (in French), Double tap to edit., Utiliser le rotor pour accéder à Misspelled Words (in French accent)

IMO this should read
en français (in French), Button (in English)
swipe right
Prénom (in French), text field (in English) use the rotor to access misspelled words (in English)
