Subject: Leopard: Instructions for getting vo and the system to use another
language
These instruction were provided by Anne Robertson in a couple of emails
and I'm pasting the combined content here. I didn't know how to
drag-and-drop yet, so I just unchecked all the other languages; if you
have any trouble with drag-and-drop, this can also be done. I also changed
my system voice for the Spanish user but that might or might not be
necessary depending on what you are doing.
Anne's Instructions:
To get VO to work in another language as well as English, you need to
create a user in that language.
You create a second user, log in as that user, change the language and, if
you like, Input method (keyboard), and set the default voice to be one in
the language you require, then Restart your computer and the new user will
be in the new language.
After this, you can log in as either user.
I always have VisioVoice running with its first voice set to French so
that I can read any message or document in French without switching users,
but I switch to my French user to browse the Net in French.
To select your language in System Preferences, go to the International
pane, select the Language tab, interact with the Languages Table, go to
the language you wish to use, use Drag and Drop to move it to the top of
the list.
Drag and Drop: make sure that the VO cursor and the mouse are on the item
you wish to move, press VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to pick up and hold the
mouse, turn tracking off, move VO cursor to the place you wish to put the
item, move mouse to VO cursor, turn tracking on again, press
VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to release the mouse.
Select the third tab if you want to change the keyboard layout. Interact
with the table and use Shift-click to select the keyboard layout(s) you
want. Check the Show Input Menu in Menu Bar checkbox. In this way, you can
verify the existing keyboard layout and change it when you want to.
When you change the keyboard layout from the Status Menu, it takes effect
immediately.
