It only does that on webpages where the html code was written with the
special language tag which jaws uses as a reference point. You can change
languages on the fly by hitting ctrl+left windows+l and just arrow to the
language you want. Not all places use the language tags though so it
doesn't always change for you . One good place that does is the wikipedia.
www.wikipedia.com A good example of something that doesn't is google. Yep.
www.google.com under language tools will give you a list of languages to
switch to. If you chose german or french they just wrote it in these
langauges w/o changing the html tag so jaws doesn't know to switch. You
just get a lot of funnt words till you wise up.

I thought that jaws now has the capacity to use the language that a word is
written in.
For example, when using the UK version of a word, jaws would automatically
switch to a UK English until a word spelled using American English is used
and it will switch back to U.S. English. The same should b true for French
and English.
Hope the above makes sense.

Hi Robert
The problem you will have is that Jaws will be pronouncing each language in
the language set by Jaws. In other words, if your Jaws is set to English
then it will try to read the French words as English and pronounce them
accordingly.
Incidentally, when I could see translation dictionaries had two sections,
both English to the foreign language and the other way around.
Good luck with your search.

Anyone know of a jaws friendly French/English dictionary?
I am English speaking and enrolling in a French course for the first time.
So, I am unsure if I want a French/English or an English/French dictionary.
Thanks a bunch for your words of wisdom
