Actually, I think that should be optional. There are occasions when you
really don't want that to happen. Example: I use an American English
voice. I don't want every British web page or document I read to switch
to the British voice. If automatic language switching is implemented, it
needs to be configurable. Further, say I have a couple of profiles
defined for a language. How would it decide which one to use?
