Re: [orca-list] switching speech language frequently

[Ollie <mallard ilgerone net>]

Hello list,
This is a very important topic, and I hope it can be given attention.
I'm Italian, and I use at leasti six languages regularly.
I keep english as my default language in Linux, but I need to read 
documents in Italian, German, Frenh, Russian, Finnish, Spanish, 
Finnish, and sometimes Hebrew.
I end up using Windoes most of  the time, because of the difficulty I 
have changing language in Orca.
It would be great if the operation could be made easier.
Best,
Ollie
