No language switching when selecting text

I'm using NVDA in the English language with a Dutch voice, language switching enabled. This means that the punctuation symbols are pronounced in Dutch. However, when selecting text (shift + left arrow or right arrow), the English names for the punctuation symbols are pronounced where the Dutch ones should be.

Confirmed. This is one of several problems with the way we currently speak selection, since we speak it as a single text message.
Changes:
Changed title from "Language switching doesn't apply to punctuation when selecting text" to "No language switching when selecting text"

I think this is strongly related to #7427.

Closing in favor of #7427 which contains more current discussion and a pull request which could be followed on.
