configurable foreign language punctuation? #46
Comments
Emacspeak gets char names from the unicode table. |
I looked at dtk-unicode.el and I only see a few defcustom items. The most relevant seems to be dtk-unicode-character-replacement-alist and I tried adding the following item to that alist:
but I don't hear any change after that, even after restarting emacspeak. I also don't see any mention of language, so can you please explain how I could get emacspeak to do language-specific customization? For example the character [ would be "left bracket" by default in English, and then "crochet gauche" after having done (dtk-set-language fr). |
this is not lang specific, it's character-set specific

Hi @tvraman I have found that emacspeak-speak-word does a great job at speaking punctuation marks in French after doing (dtk-set-language fr).
For example the character / is spoken as "barre oblique" and ( is spoken as "parenthèse gauche" which is great.
However the character \ is spoken as "backslash" which is English. Is there any way to configure a French version, for example "Barre oblique inversée" ?
There are several others I would like to configure/change, for example [ is "left bracket" but should be "crochet gauche"
I tried searching the source code for these words, which I thought may lead to some configuration variables, but I did not find anything, so I am asking here.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
