Hello..

I installed the Balaboka software.
It reads well but it comes out in English.
I can't figure out how to set French as the language.
Please help me.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    Where was Balabolka downloaded from? Normally, there is no need to insert a language file if you are in France.

    To check:



    The tiny "arrow" to the right may have been "clicked", it allows for the selection of reading languages.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your response and your help.
    I downloaded the software by typing its name into Google.
    I was instructed on how to proceed.
    When I look at the image you sent me, I realize that the red arrow on the left that you drew indicates rather "Microsoft Zira Desktop (English - United States)" than the small arrow on the right that cannot be changed.

    Click on the indicated spot below



    In the menu that appears, click again on Voice, at the bottom, and choose:
    "Microsoft Hortense [French (France)]"

    It should work!

    Otherwise, to download software, do it from a safe site to avoid viruses, malware, and other "junk", like CCM for example ;-)

    Best regards

        Hello,

        If possible, uninstall your version of Balabolka (*)

        Download it here:

        https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/audio-musique/4493-balabolka/

        ( For Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows 10 )

        It comes with about ten languages including French, the official language of Burkina Faso, which should set it as the default. Otherwise, it can be done "manually."

        (*) What is your version of Windows?

    Hello

    I did indeed disable the version of Balabolka that was on the machine and reinstalled the software using the link you provided.
    The reading is done in French with:
    - a pronunciation of words with an English accent and intonation
    (United States)
    - numbers are read in English
    It's Windows 10 that is installed
    Thank you

      And by clicking on Configuration ----> again on Configuration (Shift + F6) then Reset settings to default and OK, what does it give?

      Also, try starting from a "simple" text typed in Wordpad for example and copy/paste it directly into Balabolka.
