Cc: Bill White Subject: Re: language question Hi, Jim. When you enter a word, first, specify the default configuration file with CONTROL plus SHIFT plus D. Then specify English as the language instead of "All Languages". Doing this will cause another option to be displayed in the dialogue box of the Dictionary Manager. Once this new "Synthesizer" choice comes up, specify "Eloquence Software" instead of "All Synthesizers". This will open up a list of choices as to the default language in which the word will be spoken. For your French name, you would choose French as the default language for that word in particular. Then, each time that name is spoken, it will use the French language to pronounce the name.
