for those ready for next year's class, the language setting for your toots actually matters for accessibility!
it's not just helpful for those of us an instances with a translation feature
see, my screenreader has a voice for both french and english because i read a lot of content in those two languages
so my screen reader attempts to read anything tagged as english with the english voice and anything tagged as french with the french voice
if things are tagged not as either, it informs me and doesn't attempt to butcher it!
but the synthesizers for French and English are ridiculous when swapped, worse than a bad stereotype movie accent - to the point that sometimes i can't understand the text at all
so yeah! try to make sure your language is tagged correctly. this is true in your web design as well and a huge thing i often see missed! if you have any level of multi-language text in an HTML file make sure that's tagged.
this is all!
