I used to have big time trouble with jaws not behaving properly with other
languages (Spanish and german in my case) and found that by turning off the
detect language option in jfw, it for whatever reason fixed it. When I would
visit a foreign language page or come across text or working in a document,
jaws would read the text in that particular eloquence language but all with
an English language pronunciation. I have no idea why this is and now I just
use the ctl+insert+s command to switch between my created voice profiles.

Hi, Alice:
Yes, but only for certain applications. E-mail might be read in German if
it is in HTML and if the person sending it to you has their language set to
German in their e-mail client. Outside of e-mail, it is also sporadic. In
MS word and in html documents, it is possible to set the language of the
document. Jaws then detects what language was set for the document and
causes eloquence or the realspeak solo direct voices to switch to that
language. Below, I have pasted the link to the official homepage for the
city of Stuttgart in southern Germany if you wish to try it out. Clock on
it and you will notice Jaws switching to German if you have the language
installed and if Detect Language Change is on. It should be since on is the
default setting:
http://www.stuttgart.de/
Try it out, might be fun for you. This might work in pdf's too but I've
never tried it. Never seen it work for plain text or for rtf though rtf
might do it if there's a way to set the language of the document.
Regards,
Alex

Hi, Alex,
What is language detect? If I get an e-mail in German and have this
language detect, whatever it is, turned on, will JAWS automatically read the
German text in German instead of reading the German text as if it were
English? (that's always good for a few laughs!)
Thanks.
Alice
