Multilinguals on Non-Flag Languages 

 

14 Steps to Access Non-Flag Languages

Step One: Click "Multilingual Index" under Palladium.

Step Two: In order to get the best textual fidelity, the sets should be opened in English under the American flag.

Step Three: Access one of the ten. (In this example, we have chosen Set Two, as pictured below.) 

Stories 37 & 38 in English

 

Step Four: With your mouse, select Story 37, then right click on the highlighted selection. This action will trigger three things. One, the "Translate icon" will appear next to the "Read out loud icon" on the URL toolbar. Two, "Voice Options" will appear on the far right of the reading toolbar. Three, an English TTS voice will start to speak. See the pictures below.

In some instances the translate symbol or icon is present when visiting a website for a new session. But more often than not, it's not present. Hence, the balance of these instructions is for the more likely scenario, when the symbol is missing.

Entire website is in Croatian.

 

Step Fourteen:  Lastly, double left-click on the first word of any story then right click on it and choose from the drop-down menu, "Continue to read out loud from here."

Note: From hereon, there is no need to translate again while you surf from page to page in Croatian. However, when you're finished with Croatian and want to return to English or some other language, you must first change the TTS speaker to one which speaks the language you intend to use next.

*Be mindful that when going from one flag language to another flag language, changing speakers is done automatically.
