Yes, I believe that's the case.  The later call overrides the earlier
one.  It's up to the output module to select the particular voice, but
the language should definitely be honored.

SET LANGUAGE should be understood as: Select any voice of given
language.  As such this is a more general variant of SET SYNTHESIS_VOICE.

Best regards, Tomas.
