Re: [g-a-devel]recent gnopernicus "Language" files and support

[remus draica <rd baum ro>]

Hi Michael,

The idea is to change language at run-time.
Let suppose that user is using gedit with english interface. He opens a 
document in german. If somehow gnopernicus can find that the document is in 
german, it will display characters on braille using german translation table 
and will ask speech to speak in german.

A more general idea is:
  - gnopernicus is started with LANGUAGE=en
  - one application is started with LANGUAGE = de and other with LANGUAGE = ro
when gnopernicus read first application is nice to show on braille and to 
speak in german, and, for the second is nice to use romanian.

If these scenarios are not realistic, please let me know.

Best regards,
Remus
