[will lomas <lomaswilliam googlemail com>]

                hi,

Am i right in assuming that if i install english as my ubuntu  
language, I can then set e speak to speak
scottish
west midlands
northern english
etc?

my question still is though if i install the OS in say english but  
need to read a french newspaper, can i tell orca to speak french on  
the fly
So, can i set the language  of orcas speech? you know like in jaws for  
windows, one can say oh i am on an italian website let' change  
eloquence now to read this site
if this is the case while i love my mac, it can not on the fly switch  
to another synth
regards will
