Re: [orca-list] Symbol names always sent as English strings



Oops, I'm being spammy today. Sorry! In addition to the information
below: If Orca is started with LANG=pt_BR.utf8, but I use Gedit in
English (my default locale), Orca still says "asterisco" when I arrow to
the "*" char in gedit.

"asterisco". Dunno if that data point helps or not....

Thanks for the response, and for bringing this to the Orca list as well.
While I do hear Asterisko when I send the * symbol to spd-say with the
parameters you specify, I still hear "star" attempted in Orca's help,
which may be expected, since although I have set Brazilian Portuguese as
my spoken language in Orca's preferences, I didn't change the system
locale. More disturbing however is that I am seeing this behavior in
Fenrir as well, which is configured to use speech-dispatcher, and on the
system that is using Fenrir, I have in fact changed the system locale,
and have even rebooted the machine. In spite of all this, something is
still sending English symbol names to the speech synthesizer. I also
received confirmation that Orca is sending English symbol names to the
speech synthesizer on the same OS, even after the locale change. I have
to wonder why some things aren't being changed along with the system
locale. I have seen a report that spell checking using Hunspell in Nano
is speaking English but offering Portuguese spell checking as well.
Could these things be related? Could changing the system locale somehow
only be making a partial change, even though $LANG is set correctly?
