STR: 1. Enable the Screen Reader. 2. Go to Settings > Languages. 3. Activate the Settings language list. There are the following problems: * It's difficult to escape the dialog without making a choice. This could be fixed by a hidden "cancel" button. * It's difficult to accept the choice after making a choice. Because the "OK" button is at the end of the page, it's difficult to know where it really is. Yura, maybe there is a way to make this work by having a "form" mode in the screen reader ?

I think the main point is to have screen reader have as close of UI and experience as the sighted user. If the sighted user can close the dialog via selection (which is not the case afaik), that would be ideal. I think new gaia-dialog menu flavour does exactly that. We are also planning on implementing a sort of rotor (or similar) gesture to fast jump/scroll to the beginning/end of the document that should help with getting to "OK" button faster.

Same goes for dismiss gesture.
