Because web pages, and even things like Word documents, are
written for a specific locale, or country. That's how, for
example, a spelling checker knows how to use an American
English or British English spelling checker. This
information is held in an the file.
JAWS now incorporates a language detector which will change
synthesiser language accordingly. Going from say English to
Spanish is an easy change, but from American English to
British English can be a shade spooky.
