[orca-list] Speech profiles

[Sebastian Humenda <shumenda gmx de>]

Hello,

don't know whether this should be better discussed in the orca-devl-list :-). I
just hacked a little script to change my language to english (and later also
back to German). I don't know whether the there are plans for profiles, if not
this could be an idea. I only want to switch the language during work, because
there are to often other languages. I attach the little script beneath this
post. If the developers are interested I would sit down and write something
more nice.

Btw, I always have to press the orca+w key twice to change the speech, whats
that?

Thanks
Greetings
Seba
