Hello,

Yes it will work on a laptop. the interface doesn't need to be in spanish, because i beleive ESpeak has a spanish option if I'm not mistaken. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh" <jkenn337@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Geoff Shang" <Geoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Linux for blind general discussion" <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
I have a friend who only speaks spanish. 1. Can I get ubuntu so that the entire interface and all programs are in Spanish? 2. Will the screen reader's whole entire interface and all prompts and things be in Spanish? 3. will it work on a laptop computer?

If I get Linux I would like to use ubuntu. My questions are:

I just downloaded Ubuntu today so this is all very fresh in my head.

1. will ubuntu linux work with my wireless router and logitech USB headphones?

Not sure what you mean by "Wireless Router". If you are saying that you have a wireless router and that your computer has a card or an USB adaptor which you use to connnect to it, then you'll have to check on LInux compatibility for it. I don't know, I've not used Wireless at all, let alone under LInux.

As for your USB headset, if it is a standard USB audio device then it should work fine. Maybe try googling for logitech usb alsa

2. can I try it bu running it off the cd and not installing it?

Yes.  You can then continue on to installation if you want to.

3. if so, how do I start the screen reader and what screen readers and voices does it come with?

It comes with Orka and Espeak. For more info read http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuFeisty

You can of course get the CD from ubuntu.com.

Geoff.
