Hi: Ok, can I obtain the 3 letre code of the language (enu) for English us for example. Thanks both, This sounds the sorts of things I'm looking for. Cheers Sean.

The advantage of CurrentLocaleID over CurrentLanguage is that you get the real language identifier that everyone knows rather than the internal Window-Eyes language identifier which only Window-Eyes knows. In other words, assuming Window-Eyes is running in English, CurrentLanguage will give you back the langEnglish enum, whereas CurrentLocaleID would give you back 1033. You can use the CurrentLocaleID in conjunction with the Utilities.LocaleInfo method, to do things like (using Immed as an example): print Utilities.LocaleInfo(CurrentLocaleID).LanguageName English print Utilities.LocaleInfo(CurrentLocaleID).LocaleName English (United States) print Utilities.LocaleInfo(CurrentLocaleID).RegionName United States You can also use CurrentLocaleID with the Utilities.ConvertLanguageIDToString method: print Utilities.ConvertLanguageIDToString(CurrentLocaleID) en-us If your CurrentLocaleID was 1062: print Utilities.LocaleInfo(1062).LanguageName latviešu print Utilities.LocaleInfo(1062).LocaleName Latvian (Latvia) print Utilities.LocaleInfo(1062).RegionName Latvija print Utilities.ConvertLanguageIDToString(1062) lv Of course, if you're only concerned with the language of the Window-Eyes UI, then Doug's example is much simpler. But this gives you an idea of some of the things you can do with languages identifiers in Window-Eyes.

I went into the App Developer Reference manual and did a search for "language". It was about the 17th entry down. Just look at: CurrentLanguage This is a property of Application and returns a Language enum which will tell you what language the Window-Eyes UI is being displayed as. For example, If CurrentLanguage = langDutch Then Speak "The Window-Eyes ui is in Dutch" End If Doug On 2/25/2012 5:06 AM, Sean Farrow wrote: Hi: Is there a way through scripting to obtain the language window-eyes is displaying it's user interface in?
