Please describe the problem:
Using Orca and espeak, when I switch to another language (portuguese or spanish) all the punctuation characters continue to be spoken in english (the default language).

Using speech-dispatcher directly in Orca, punctuation is spoken correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open gedit and type a line of punctuation characters
2. In Orca preferences, change your language to portuguese (for instance)
3. in gedit, use the cursor keys to walk through the punctuation chars
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
The punctuation chars are spoken in english, ie, "/" is spoken "slash"

Expected results:
"/" should be spoken "barra", etc

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Don't know how to get the versions of gnome-speech or espeak, but they're the ones  package in Ubuntu 8.10 with all the updates.

To switch languages in Orca, I change the Person setting.
