Re: [orca-list] Non-latin languages

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Orca can't switch TTS language automatically for example when proper 
markup is detected inside a document such as on the web and / or within 
libre office documents however if you set your TTS and orca interface 
language manually or via profile, then you can read whatever language 
you like.
Depending on the synth you do have some limited choices. With eSpeak for 
example choosing russian or chinese voice you will get latin texts read 
with english pronunciation and russian text with russian pronunciation 
and so on.
I don't know multilingual orca users who take advantage of these 
features in person but I guess José is switching between english and 
portuguese settings via orca profiles and it is working fine.

Greetings

Peter
