> Switch the language on foreign terms and names so that screen readers can pronounce them in the right voice.
Screen reader user here. Don't actually do this, this is bad advice.
Just like a lecturer won't suddenly switch to a German accent when saying words like "schadenfreude" or names like "Friedrich Nietzsche", neither should a screen reader. Having your voice constantly change under you for no apparent reason is distracting more than anything else.
What you should do this for are longer pieces of text in a foreign language, like a multi-paragraph piece of text to analyze in a foreign language textbook.
