Steps to reproduce:

NVDA in French (default) with a synthesizer able to speak French and Italian, e.g. eSpeak.

1. Open a webpage in Italian
2. Ensure automatic language switching is enabled in speech setting.
3. Press NVDA+Numpad2 twice
4. Press Numpad3, then numpad1 and wait for 1 second.

Actual behavior:

• At step 3, the character description is in Italian and read with Italian TTS.
• At step 4, the character description is in Italian and read with French TTS (wrong pronunciation).

Expected behavior:

• At step 3 and 4, the behaviour should be the same, i.e.: the character description is in Italian and read with Italian TTS.

Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

Yes

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.

No; new feature in 2022.3.

If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?

Yes

Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?

Not tested but unrelated.

Additional notes

• The processing done in getSingleCharDescription should be the same as the one done for one character in _getSpellingSpeechWithoutCharMode, so that what is reported when Numpad2 is pressed twice is the same as what is reported when "Delayed character description" feature is enabled.
• Issue due to same cause as Delayed descriptions for characters on cursor movement and Chinese characters #13966.
