Yes that person in the previous life would talk through the mouth of the person being hypnotised. Even if in the new life she doesn't know the previous language she would remember the information and feeling, and will be able to express them in the new language.

I just found this video which summarises a lot of answers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzwle9gjC2E

The question is why doesn't she know the previous language? Language is nothing but learned memories just like other memories about your life. So she remembers some stuff and forget some stuff? Why that is so?

She might know the other language actually. I'm not an expert but asking the therapist that runs the hypnosis would know the answer (if they had a patient with a previous life in another language).

My feeling is that what the person remembers are feelings/emotions and images in her head from the previous life, these images and emotions are explainable/translatable in any language.
