TalkBack and Localization

TalkBack currently supports English, Spanish, Italian, French and German. If you run the Welcome app on a device with Spanish specified as the device’s language and TalkBack enabled, TalkBack will speak the app’s Spanish strings as you touch each GUI component.

When you first switch your device to Spanish and enable TalkBack, Android will automatically download the Spanish text-to-speech engine. If TalkBack does not speak the Spanish strings, then the Spanish text-to-speech engine has not finished downloading and installing yet. In this case, you should try executing the app again later.
