It's worth noting that you can switch activities quickly by either 1)
bringing up a list of activities with VO X, or 2) automatically switching
back and forth between activities with VO XX.
So it won't automatically detect languages and switch, but the introduction
of activities does make switching languages very easy. And you can also
adjust things like rate, pronunciation, verbosity, etc by using activities.
So if you're not as strong with one language, you can set the speaking rate
lower for that activity.

Subject: Re: Automatic Language Change.
Thanks, that is helpful. I was thinking I have to change the language to
what I want to use so I was tuck with that language.
It would certainly be helpful if I can use Alex for any English content,
then use the appropriate tts engine for the matching language.
I'll give that a try.
Thanks.

IOS handles it automatically so long as the text encoding is done
appropriately. It does not seem like that the lion can do it.
What I have done was to create an activity and specify the speech
synthesizer of the language along with a webkit so that, when I open
safari, for example, it reads in English voice while the selected voice is
being used when webkit was fired up.
Better than manual change.
Regards.

Hi,
I don't believe VoiceOver will change languages on the fly. You have to
change the local language setting to what you want. Then VoiceOver will
be able to use the correct language for the tts. This is the same with
iOS devices.

Hello!
In addition to the English voices I installed two Swedish voices and two
Arabic as well. Now I wonder is there any setting I can make so that
voiceover changes to correct synthesizer at the right time automatically
depending on the language of the document I read or on the language of
the homepage I am on? The way I am doing it now is by changing default
voice manually.
By the way, is there a way to make voiceover change braille table
automatically when changing synthesizer like on the ios devices?
Thanks.
