Hi

Does this mean that the Dolphin operating environment supports all those 
languages, or are we just talking about what the synthesiser can do?  In JAWS 
for example, the eloquence speech synthesiser can speak around 11 languages, 
but this doesn't mean that you will get all of your messages, screen prompts 
etc in that language.

    Hi Kirsty,

    In a word, yes.  What you normally require is the language
    specific speech software.

    You'll find an interesting item on, "Fluent Dutch" at,
    http://www.magnifiers.org/speech.shtml which also mentions
    other Dutch speech programs.

    The introduction of a Unicode version of JAWS (6.1) should
    make the use of alternative languages much easier to
    implement, though I can't comment on where the other screen
    readers are in terms of languages.

    George.
