[Blindtlk] Spanish with JAWS

[Jim Portillo]

I think one thing I'm going to suggest is to make sure you have the Paulina
Spanish voice for JAWS.  She speaks and reads well.
As to the other question about reading, I'll have to think on that a bit.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Spanish with JAWS

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.
