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

[Mario Eiland]

HI Nancy,
If you are wanting for everything to be in Spanish you must set it up in
Spanish from the beginning. This happens when you originally purchase or
reset the iPhone and you are asked what language you want to use. Otherwise,
you will experience what you're experiencing now where everything still in
English and it will not translate to Spanish.

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

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. 
Nancy Coffman
