Description

Originally part of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/30849

Can not specify the locale (language) of a Nested Text (Android Span). TalkBack uses the information when announcing the text.

If the device language is English, TalkBack reads the text in that language. iOS has the accessibilityLanguage property, but there is no equivalent android API.

React Native version:

main branch

Expected Behavior

An implementor should be able to specify the type of content within a span of text to give additional context to the TalkBack screenreader (for ex. English, Japanese or Italian).

Snack

Version

main

Output of npx react-native info

Not Relevant. It is an issue with ReactAndroid API (main branch)

Steps to reproduce

• Open the snack
• Enable talkback
• Move the talkback screenreader focus on the Japanese text
