Word 2019 last version duplicates NVDA attribute change notification when formatting text through keystrokes #10950

Description

@ivnc

Reproduced by many Spanish-speaking users, including me.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a Microsoft Office Word document.
  2. (Optional)Type any text.
  3. Execute font attributes keystrokes (in Spanish, Control+N/S/K/etc.).

Actual behavior:

NVDA starts announcing the change in the configured language but Word sends a notification with the attribute name in English and localized status interrupting NVDA, the same as happened with "delete back word" text.
IO - inputCore.InputManager.executeGesture (10:52:07.776):
Input: kb(laptop):control+n
IO - speech.speak (10:52:07.838):
Speaking [u'Negri\xf1a desactivada']
DEBUG - external:globalPlugins.wintenObjs.GlobalPlugin.uiaDebugLogging (10:52:07.871):
W10: UIA object: <NVDAObjects.Dynamic_WordDocumentEditableTextWithoutAutoSelectDetectionUIAWindowNVDAObject object at 0x054A0DD0>, name: , event: notification, app module: <'appModuleHandler' (appName u'winword', process ID 7392) at address 4d713b0>, automation Id: , class name: _WwG
DEBUG - external:globalPlugins.wintenObjs.GlobalPlugin.event_UIA_notification (10:52:07.871):
W10: UIA notification: sender: <POINTER(IUIAutomationElement) ptr=0x9f132d8 at 5486760>, notification kind: 2, notification processing: 3, display string: Bold Desactivado, activity ID: AccSN1
IO - speech.speak (10:52:07.878):
Speaking [u'Bold Desactivado']
Note: This happens with winTenApps disabled as well.

Expected behavior:

NVDA ignores notification and announces changes by itself, or disables these announcements for the most recent Word 2019/365 releases and, despite it is not under our control, Word sends them in the configured language.
