Subject: [Electronics-talk] 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.
