Well, the things I changed to get it to stop speaking whatever it was speaking were bolded.

To clarify, Catalan only came up, and only for various document headings. Dr. Tom Behler From: Adrian Spratt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2015 2:50 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Catalan Problem Solved Agreed, if a word common to several languages must in context be English, a language detection program won’t identify it as foreign. That’s why I chose “und” as an example. It isn’t an English word. Admittedly, the odd thing about Tom’s case is that only Catalan came up, or so it seems. From: Brian Vogel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2015 2:38 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Catalan Problem Solved Adrian, But wouldn't you think that JAWS would be coded to be smart enough to use context to recognize whether something was simply misspelled versus jumping on the "it's in another language" bandwagon? Since English is one of the worst "stealers of words" and absorbing them into the language unchanged from their original spellings, it would be mighty dangerous to use anything like a single word for a language detection function.
