Re: [orca-list] Please test profile-based language switching

Another way to reproduce the same problem.

1. Launch gedit.
2. Change to other profile.
3. Type some text.
In my machine the typed chars are announced in Portuguese, as expected.
4. Change to other window.
5. Change back to gedit.
6. Type some text.
Now the chars typed are announced in english.

Hi again.
Looks like I could reproduce the problem with some consistency.

Remember that by default, I use orca and my machine is configured to
English and to test I created a new profile configured to pt-Brasil.

To reproduce:
1. Switch to a new profile.
2. Press alt+f2, type gedit and press enter.
3. Press the shift key and begin to type, keeping the shift key pressed.

In my machine, the typed chars are announced correctly., in Portuguese
as expected.

4. Release the shift key and type only one char.
In my machine, the typed char is announced in English but should be
announced in Portuguese.

5. Press the shift key and type only one char again.
In my machine, the typed char is announced again in English.

6. Press backspace two times.
7. Repeat the step 5. Now the typed char is announced correctly.

Seems that if you execute the step 2 before the step 1, the problem
doesn't happen.

Hi Joanie.
The first problem that I found is  that that when I type, the characters
are generally announced in English.

By default my machine is configured to run with English as the default
language and I use orca configured to speak in English.
Now, when I switch the profile to "pt-language", call gedit and begin to
type, the typed chars are announced in English.
The funny thing is that from time to time, some characters are announced
in Portuguese while I am typing.
I have not found a way to reproduce this problem consistently.
Thanks.

Hey guys.

There are two kinds of language switching we ultimately want to make
possible in Orca:

1. Detecting the language of an object and automatically switching to
    the appropriate synthesizer (if you enabled that in a setting).
2. Allowing you to switch synthesizers on the fly and have Orca use
    that language when presenting stuff to you.

I've done quite a bit of work on 2. And before I do the .90 release
later today, it would be helpful if those of you who are able to test
master do so.

To test:

1. Without doing any language switching, just use Orca and be sure no
    messages that Orca used to present have suddenly disappeared.
    Likewise, be sure that messages Orca used to present in your native
    language have not suddenly reverted to English.

2. If you have not already done so, create a profile with an alternative
    language speech synthesizer selected. Having done so and saved it,
    bind the command associated with cycling amongst profiles. Then use
    Orca switching between profiles. You should find that messages that
    are strictly feedback from Orca (e.g. Punctuation level set to Some,
    Faster, Slower, No more headings found, etc.) are in the new
language
    assuming that language has been translated.

What I have *not* done yet:

* Strings which might be singular or plural (e.g. List with x item
   or x items)
* Command names AKA keybinding names AKA short cut names
* Anything related to any GUI Orca has
* Anything related to widget rolenames, where am i, tutorial messages

I will work on the singular/plural strings and command names. If we can
get the profile-based language switching working pretty darn well for
3.8, that plus the "list of" dialogs should make this a nice release.

Thanks in advance!
