Re: [orca-list] Select Orca language at the boot prompt?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Anthony:

Orca uses the gettext module for text that it presents to the user and 
the gnomespeech driver uses locale.getdefaultlocale() 
(http://docs.python.org/library/locale.html) to help guess the speech 
synthesis engine voice to use.

I'm not familiar with the details of isolinux.cfg, but I would guess 
that if you set the LANG environment variable, Orca should hopefully do 
the right thing.  The exception to this might be if you've set things up 
to use speech dispatcher.  I'm not sure if the Orca support for it 
detects default locale or not.
