Re: [orca-list] I can not configure uppercase voice in orca preferences page

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Jose:

I think you found the problem (yeah!).  In the glade file, the strings 
for the combobox are conflated into one string with \n delimiters: 
"Default\nUppercase\nHyperlink".  As a result, there's no individual 
translations for "Default", "Uppercase" or "Hyperlink".  So, these all 
end up failing.  I'll see what I can do.
