Hi, This is not the fault of JAWS, unfortunately. It is the HTML tags that determine the language to be used by JAWWS and synthesizer as default for a particular application or document or in general. So the document was probably not HTML-tagged for latin, if any such thing is extant. You will have to manually change the language every time. Now before doing so, it might be better to uncheck language detection, so that your changes can take effect. You might need to set up a separate voice profile for this [latin/italian] in JAWS10. Do you have a brailld display? That would probably be a better way to do it, if available.

It's very tiring not to be able to only concentrate on the interpretation, but to be distracted by the eloquence English non-pronounciation of the e vowel extentions or conjugations at the end of words. So I want to switch to the Italian synthesizer when reading this document. It's html files, language detection is checked, I have the default jaws installed, which I'm 99% certain includes Italian, but it stubbornly sticks to English. I've tried this on three different computers, running jaws 8, 9 and 10 respectively, without success. But it also remains on English even when reading some other languages. I don't want to change the default language, as I would probably not even be able to understand the Italian menus, in order to change it back. How can I force eloquence to change to Italian on this document? Thanks and regards Riana Your help would be appreciated.
