Selecting a Non-Flag Language
To demonstrate, we'll use "The Sheep and the Pig" under Fables and Classic Stories.
Step One:
With your thumb or other finger, press on the first word of the story to bring up two blue "tear drops."
Step Two:
Press the "tear drop" on the right side, then drag it down until a light blue filter covers as much as possible. then release your finger from the "tear drop," and move the story upward to reveal more of it, then press the "tear drop" again and drag the filter farther downward. Likely, you will have to repeat this action two or three times to cover the whole fable. The picture below illustrates this step.
Step Three:
Tap the three vertical dots next to "Select all," as shown in the figure above.
Step Four:
After Step Three has been executed, the box below will appear. Then, tap on "Translate."
Step Five:
After Step Four has been executed, the box below will appear. Tap the mic next to Danish to hear the fable in that language. (It happens to be the language last used.)
Step Six:
If we want to hear the fable in another language, we would tap on Danish, which would bring up a long list, from which to make our pick. The picture below illustrates a truncated list.
