Hi, For languages on a web page to work properly with JAWS you need two things to be in sync.
Firstly, you need the JAWS "Detect Language" option to set on in the JAWS settings. Find this by hitting JawsKey plus V then tab to the list of options and down arrow to find the language options. The web page developer also has to tag the correct language for the web page content. Each time the developer wants text to be in a different language they should add a language tag to indicate the correct language. This language tag is part of the html code that is written by the developer or, more likely these days, output by the web authoring tool used by the developer. In this case I suspect that the language tag for the entire site is Italian and is not changed to English for the English text. Thus, JAWS language detect reads the tag that says the text is Italian and speaks the English text in Italian as it has no indication that the languae has changed. Yu can't change this language tag. I hope this is not too confusing. Ciao!

While on the page, open quick settings with JawsKey + V, then type Language into the search box. Down arrow to the feature and make sure it's turned off. You can turn it back on later if you need it.

I will paste the link to the page below so that if anyone would like to take a look, feel free. The page is in either Spanish or Italian. The speech is very fast and I need it slower to figure out the language, I think Spanish. That's not my problem, though. When I select the English option, it actually goes to the English page and shows only English on the screen. However, Jaws is still reading in the other language. Why would this happen and how can I fix it? Here is the link. http://www.postocd.org/ Thanks.
