Saludos. I believe that there is a coded cue that a web page creator has
to put into the html language to enable automatic language detection.
For example, a few months ago a person was confused by a web page. A
mistake had put sections of the page into Italian yet the words it was
reading were English. Those sections were basically reading English with
Italian pronunciation. I think the html editor had meant to change the
font to italic, yet the code evoked Jaws to switch to Italian.
Here's a little of what Freedom Scientific says about it: "JAWS 5.0
introduces language switching with any supported speech synthesizer.
When a Web page author indicates the language of an entire page, or just
part of a page, if the synthesizer in use supports that language, JAWS
uses the language specific version of the synthesizer to speak the text.
The synthesizer must support the language of the information, but the
synthesizer does not have to be a SAPI 5 synthesizer. If the synthesizer
does not support the language specified for a page or part of a page,
JAWS still indicates the language of the information." That's from the
html challenge at

Hi to all! me again!
yes Andrew, I use the same commands like everybody here, because I am
using JAWS multiple languages. the only thing that changed my primary
speech synthesizer is latin american spanish, but I was talking about my
keyboard language, worried about my messages features, which language
will read the person (a JAWS user person), who is receiving my messages?
so the question was missexpressed, which language is detected by "JAWS
authomatic language detection"? written texxt language? writer's
keyboard language? or what?
too much confuse? sorry in advance!
thanks a lot!

Dear Esperanza:
I have experienced the same problems and as I cannot send the
attachments with my solutions, I am encluding them below. I hope they
help.
I have to ask you though, do you have the same keystrokes? Say for
instance, if you want to search something in a word document, do you
press ctrl plus F for find or ctrl plus B for Buscar?
Andrew.
To make sure that JAWS works well with multiple languages:
Make sure that the verbosity level (insert V) is indicating that
languages (L) state that they are on having selected the ones you would
like JAWS to recognise when you installed the version in your computer.
Then enter Microsoft Office Tools submenu by pressing Windows key and
P for programs. Press M as many times as necessary to access it and
press Enter.
Down arrow to language settings and check the languages you want Word
to recognise. Tab along to OK in order to save the changes.
Enter a Word document and type a sentence in each language you want
Jaws to recognise. If it still cannot cope, enter Tools by pressing alt
plus T. Down arrow to language submenu, right arrow to enter it and
press enter on select language. Tab twice to detect language
automatically and press tab twice again to OK. It can also be done by
entering Tools, pressing L twice and Alt E to detect language. Then
press Alt D so that this feature is set as the default. The computer
will prompt you if you wish English to be the default language. This
means that it will start with English and recognize the language as you
type. Press Y for Yes and enter.
>>>
Even if the language recognition is set, F7 will not recognize the
language until you enter the Jaws verbosity level and make sure that the
spelling and grammar option is checked. Then, you will have to double
check that the MS Word Spelling and Grammar option is activated. To
achieve this:
Press F7 after typing a deliverate mistake.
Then press Alt K to check grammar. If the computer announces that the
grammar option is off, press the spacebar to toggle it back to on.
>>>
To disable language detection in Internet Explorer with Jaws:
When you're in internet explorer, hit JAWSKey+6. Once the
configuration
manager starts, hit alt+s and aero down to text processing. Uncheck
detect
languages.
One more thing. To only disable language detection for that specific
website, open the site in internet explorer. Instead of hitting
JAWSKey+v,
hit JAWSKey+Shift+v. Hit l for language detection.
>>>
Open the Configuration Manager, go to Textg Processing and be sure
Detect Languages is
Checked

hi listers!
Jusst curious, this is Esperanza Villafuerte from Peru.
wondering about, for example, I am writing in english but my system
language is spanish, because I am not only user of this PC. It means,
that because authomatic language detection, by then you'll have
received this email, JAWS reads this like it was written in spanish?

Hi all
Could some kind soul please tell me how to disable automatic
language detection (not on the fly, for keeps). For some mysterious
reason Jaws insists on vocalizing an Australian website in German.
Many thanks,
Ron.
