Does VO in MacOS allow automatic language/voice switching? Will it soon?

Hello, I use VoiceOver for multilingual reasearch, and I often read and write documents that contain some text in five or six languages inline. My iPhone reads these well enough, but VoiceOver on the Mac does not seem to allow this. Here's an example of the sort of text i am talking about:

The common Greek translation for Hebrew לָמָּה is να τ, but in this case μποτε appears instead.

There is one English voice that read each character individually, but it is difficult to follow at high speed. Is there a way to turn on automatic language/voice switching so it acts more like iOS? If not, is there any plan to institute sucha feature soon?


Thank you!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
