I'm 99.9% sure the screen-language thing is dolphin-specific. I remember it
well from using Hal around 7 years ago.

Interesting.  You can't do that with JAWS!

hi yes you will have to set your screen language to the language you prefer
and then that's it.

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.
