Non-English Languages
Dragon NaturallySpeaking, probably for historical reasons,
internally uses the character set Windows-1252
(a superset of Latin-1) rather than the newer Unicode. This is
the default Windows character set for Western languages and
includes the usual accented letters. Accordingly, Vocola 2
uses this character set as well for its input files.
If you want to use non-ASCII characters such as accented
letters in your commands, then you will need to tell your
editor to save using this character set. How to do this is
editor dependent; for notepad, choosing encoding "ANSI" appears
to work. With Emacs, adding the line
# -*- encoding: windows-1252 -*-
to the top of your file should do the trick.
Accented letters may be used in words and keystroke sequences,
but not in variable names (e.g., <direction>) or function
names. Note that Dragon uses different names for keys
depending on the language; for example, {Center} becomes
{Centre} in French. Consult your manual for the key names to
use with SendDragonKeys and SendSystemKeys for the language you
are using.
At startup, Vocola attempts to determine the language being
used. If it is not English, Vocola changes its built-in
commands appropriately. You will find a list of these command
variations below organized by language.
If you are multilingual and use multiple Dragon profiles with
differing languages, you may wish to write different commands
for each language. To support this, as of version 2.8.4, if
there is a subdirectory of your Vocola user directory with the
short name of the language (e.g., enx
for English) in use when Vocola was started, then Vocola will
use the commands from that subdirectory rather than your user
directory. The short language names
are: enx for English,
esp for
Spanish, ita for
Italian, fra for
French, nld for Dutch,
and deu for German.
If you are using Quintijn's combined installer and select the
"Vocola Multi languages" option (under the Vocola section of
the configure GUI program), the installer will automatically
create these per-language subdirectories for each non-English
language you use. For example, the first time you use Dutch
with this option turned on, a subdirectory
called nld will be created in your
Vocola command directory. While you are using Dutch, Vocola
will use the command files in that subdirectory. Similarly,
for other non-English languages. Thus by switching languages,
you can automatically switch between different sets of Vocola
command files. As a convenience, when it creates one of these
subdirectories, the installer automatically copies all of your
top-level command files to the new subdirectory for editing.
