I really like to browse the web in english and in my mother language german. It would be very nice to switch between different languages more quickly.

- Milestone changed from 0.6p2 to 0.6
Agreed NVDA should have a feature to dynamically change the language based on the language of text in a document. However this will definitely not be seen in 0.6 p2. Can I suggest for now to use the synth settings ring. So when on a page you want to read in another language, use NVDA + control + left/right arrow to choose the voice parameter to change (you would want to choose the voice), and then use NVDA + control + up/down arrow to change that setting (choose the voice you want to use). If using eSpeak and if you are on the default english voice, I think German is 3 voices down.

Was this ticket intended to request fast switching between languages or automatic language detection and switching?

- Resolution set to fixed
- Milestone set to 2011.3
Auto language switching #845 has been implemented for NVDA 2011.3. As pointed out above, the synth settings ring can be used to easily manually switch voices. Also, some synths now may support a separate "language" setting, which should also appear in the synth settings ring I believe.
Due to implementation of auto language switching and addition of a "language" setting for some sinths, I am closing as fixed.
NVDA is developed by 
Well, I think that there should be named config profiles which could be changed easily and contain settings for various situations. These profiles should have configurable hotkey for easy activation.
