Re: chemistry speech

Hello:

Sorry since my answer won't help you too much. Just to say that I'm a
user of NVDA from Spain and I'm glad seeing this topic in this group.
I know how to translate subscript in Spanish, and also how water
expression is said in my language. Hope this considers also that
strings have to be translated, and I don't know if every rule has a
correspondence in different languages.
This is just to say thanks.
Kind regards
