Issues

Looked around NVDA issues on 2024-09-16

• Numbers pronunciation doesn't reflect the language of the content read #14155
  • "It seems that NVDA is not correctly creating aliases for language codes without locales."
  • So TODO try de-DE for the web page lang attribute, with NVDA
• Emojis not reported with eSpeak Portuguese (Portugal #14434)
• NVDA automagically changes Espeak variant in some situations #14670
  • So TODO try turning off automatic dialect switching
• Language tag ignored in labels and option elements when focused #15601
  • TODO explore https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/labels/feature%2Fi18n
• Automatic language switching doesn't work for aria-label #16285
  • TODO comment on the issue that it's not quite "Adios mundo button is read in english" but the Spanish words are pronounced as English. It would be not too bad if it switched between two languages both of which are in my language list. But it's quite hard to understand when a word uses the wrong language's pronunciation.
• foreign languages in the UK #16646
  • Not one of the primary themes for this project: braille displays
  • TODO add to the out-of-scope list for this project: language instruction

Features

• NVDA has more languages than JAWS. Does this come with a quality trade-off?
• High-level: How to add a UI language? A content language?
