NVDA should have also an object dictionary
Reported by djblind on 2011-02-01 22:12 NVDA should give an ability to overide default names of system objects like radio buttons, tree views, checkboxes, its states, and other standard elements. In some languages, original names of these elements, must be expressed in two, or even in extreme cases 3 words, consuming a lot of time in opinion of some experienced users, even if synthesiser speed is set to 100%. Actual, if you want to change this, you must edit a translation file but for normal users, playing with source files isnt easy. I imagine a dialog, containing list of these standard objects like checkboxes, property sheets and possible values of these objects,, and a text field, where user will enter desired name of element, used by NVDA. For example when some checkbox is selected, it will speak "checkbox yes", "checkbox no", even checkbox can be converted to "check", tree view replaced with "christmass tree", edit area with "write" etc. As I remember, this functionality is implemented in jaws.
