            Bug ID: 229306
           Summary: AX: Voiceover does not read in correct language when
                    lang attr added on or within option
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 14
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility

I made a codepen to demonstrate this behavior: https://codepen.io/kaylee42/pen/Exmqgjq

When I use the lang attribute on a paragraph, Voiceover correctly reads the paragraph in the designated language.

However, when I set the lang attribute on an option within a select (either on the option tag itself, or on a span within the option), Voiceover reads with the pronunciation of the default language (in this case, English). This makes it almost impossible to understand what the options are within the select. The lang attribute should be expose to Voiceover both when it is on the option itself and on a span within the option to improve accessibility of selects.
