Dear people:

I'm reading a text in french, with te Reader Touch, and I would know it the "reading out loud" option is also in french.

And if it exists, how can I configure it.

Thanks a lot

Sandra

    Hello Sandra,

    Adobe Reader desktop application is a freeware software to view print, sign, and annotate PDFs and it will not translate English into the French language. So, the Reader our Loud in French with Adobe Reader will not work.

    If you have Acrobat Pro installed, you can set the document language under File > Properties > Advanced tab under the language dropdown.

    For detailed information, you can refer to Adobe article Accessibility features, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    You can also refer to the following Adobe discussions Can Adobe Reader read out loud in French/other languages?

    Text to speech - change language

    No French reading voice for PDF.We want to use the Read Out Loud function in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro to listen…

    Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Anand Sri.

    The user asked to read aloud in french, a PDF document who is written in french.

    Why do you assume that she is talking about Translating?  Translation is a completely different topic.
