[Trainer-Talk] Using Apple with voiceover and Spanish as default language

[Nancy Coffman]

Hello:

I have been working with a spanish speaking student and it seems that there are a lot of inconsistencies when using Voiceover in Spanish. We have the default language for the phone in Spanish Ecuador). In Voiceover, we have the rotor language set to Spanish, Mexico. We also have the option for English. 

The first thing we noticed is that many things including icons on the home screen are not translated. They are English pronounced in Spanish. Many things are not pronounced properly. 

Any tips you can give me would be helpful. I may have the settings wrong. 

If I am correct in my assessment of how the phone works in Spanish, I hope users who can will let Apple know about the bugs in their Spanish configuration. When I called accessibility, I was told there is not a cue to speak with a spanish speaking advisor.


Thank you.
