Apps Accessibility and WebView

I am desperately trying to solve this problem:

I have a WebView in my app where I load a series of webpages also created by myself. I need my app to be fully accessible to blind people so TalkBack should work perfectly.

And the thing is -- it does, but whithin the WebView all form components (EditText, RadioButton, etc.) are read in English regardless of the user's locale preferences.

If I load the same page from Chrome for Android, it reads them in the user's Language. For instance my phone is set to Spanish, so it reads them in Spanish. But in the WebView --- no sir, only in English.

Is there any way to fix this?

BTW - I am developing on a Nexus 5.
