I am taking a Spanish class in college. I have JAWS 15 and MS Word 2010. I know you can change the language and/or have it detect a language in MS Word and I know you can change the language in JAWS.
I get my textbook chapters in Word format from the disability office at my school.
The chapters have a lot of English interspersed within the Spanish text.
I really need help figuring out how to deal with that. I have tried changing both JAWS and MS Word settings to Spanish. I have also tried just changing it in one program or the other. I have also tried not having the language changed at all in any program. It seems that no matter what I do, JAWS inevitably reads things wrong. It will sometimes read Spanish in an English pronunciation or read English in a Spanish pronunciation. When it does that, I cannot understand what it's saying at all. Sometimes it does read it in the right language. But I cannot figure out how it is deciding which language to read it in.
So basically I need help figuring out how to read a document that is two different languages.
Any help would be much appreciated.
