Ok . I found by experimenting by forcing German for myself (I have a very
little German), that the synthesizer does not automatically change languages
within a dialog; so when I loaded the listview with German instructions, the
synthesizer did not detect there was German being displayed (I would have
thought this could have been done with the Unicode characters; GW, is this
possible in the future?)

 

However, I did update the version you can download now to 0.7.2, because
this version does create an HTML browse dialog (when you click the optional
button for this) which contains a language parameter, and WE does then
change the synthesizer language to match the page being shown in the
browser.

 

So, for non-English users of this app, version 0.7.2 is a small step
forward.

 

Enjoy,

 

Chip

Subject: another beta of Remind Me Where

 

Hi all,

 

Besides the usual set of bug fixes, this beta should finish all of the
remaining metric unit issues, so when you choose metric, everything should
be in metric.

 

Also, I'm beginning to experiment with non-English responses from Google.
In the options dialog there is a language choice which allows you to specify
if the Google responses should be in the same language as the app dialog
(currently only English), or in the same language as your copy of
Window-Eyes.  So, if you are using a non-English copy of WE, you can choose
the latter choice to see how this works out when Google gives directions in
that language.

 

My concern is whether a synthesizer will automatically switch from English
to your native language; if not, then this may have to wait until I begin
having dialogs translated into other languages.  I would appreciate hearing
from anyone with a non-English version of WE who tries this arrangement.

 

The download link for this beta (0.7.0) is the same as always:

Thanks for the help and the suggestions,

 

Chip
