I did a quick search, this looks promising: https://www.npmjs.com/package/languagedetect
But it will take some time to implement this. I'll do this when I have time.

Sorry for replying this late. Thanks for the suggestion. There are a limited number of languages supported by alexa at the moment, see https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/custom-skills/speech-synthesis-markup-language-ssml-reference.html#lang
If pocket API has info on the language of the article, it would help. Otherwise it requires a way to determine the language of the article. Anyway, I'll look into it and get back to you once I get something.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. Doing a quick search in the pocket API unfortunately
did not reveal a parameter for the language. (However, I suspect that
sending a request to pocket for such a feature from a developer might help,
at least in the long run. ;-) Extending their API so that you could request
all articles of a certain language might also be interesting!)
Doing a quick qoogle search, I found several services that determine the
language type of a text, some of which are free:
https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/basic/detecting-language (free?!)
https://detectlanguage.com/ (1000 requests free)
Hence, I hope there is a feasible path for such a feature.
Many thanks in any case for considering my idea!

Great! :-) I am really looking forward to his feature. This will be a game changer for me (and most likely/hopefully many others)!

Hi,
I wish you a happy new year and hope that you are well despite the Corona
pandemic!
Referring to our conversation last year, I wanted to kindly ask if you have
been able to look into the problem of automatically determining the
language of a pocket article to automatically select the correct language
for read out.
If determining the language automatically does not work, an alternative
approach would be to enable the user to switch the language for the current
article "manually", i.e., by integrating a voice command in the my pocket
skill such as "Alexa, switch language to German".
Best regards,
Christian
