I can tell you that you will be pleased with the high-siera update as it will include ato language switching. The feature is not complete yet, but I believe it will grow more mature as betas keep coming.
There is a work around to have acapela infovox voices switch between two languages, but this TTS is not free. Best regards.

Spanish, Polish and Russian), and ever since I switched to Mac OS (Sierra) from Windows/JAWS, I'm struggling with a problem. When I try to work with any document containing two or more languages, VoiceOver does not switch the synthesizer automatically between them, as it does in iOS and JAWS, e.g. to read English with English voice and Russian with Russian one without having to switch them manually. Instead it tries to pronounce everything in language set as a default and just skips the words if the alphabet is different (Cyrillic). Moreover, when I’m writing something - say, a letter – in foreign language I cannot interact with any object beyond the text – menus, buttons, etc. as they are not pronounced correctly by a system language. Does anybody have any solution on how to teach my VoiceOver to “recognize” different languages? My next stage of learning is going to be Arabic and Mandarin, and I can hardly imagine how I could get thru. Would highly appreciate any input! -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
