A quotation from Carlyle

For if a good speaker — an eloquent speaker — is not speaking the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Speech (1866-04-02), “On the Choice of Books,” Inaugural Address as Lord Rector, University

Do you speak another language? Do you wish the #eloquence addon for 64-bit #NVDA (version 2026 and above) was available in that language? Now it can be! Thanks to the hard work of CyrilleB79:
• french translation is available (by CyrilleB79)
• support for translations was added (also by CyrilleB79)
Sadly, as a monolingual person, I'm unfamiliar with the translation workflow. But it works the same way as other NVDA addons. All translation submissions are appreciated, with priority given to the languages eloquence supports. If there are no other changes that need releasing, I will release a new version of the addon every Friday with all available translation updates. You can install the addon via the updater, or find the latest release, along with a file called Eloquence.pot that I believe translators need, here: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v16

It looks like you need to make a file named nvda.po, then put it in:
addon/locale/your_two_letter_language_code/LC_MESSAGES

Thinking about jumping on the iOS 26.4 Beta 2 developer train, but I have a few specific accessibility "deal-breakers" I'm worried about. Any fellow VoiceOver users seeing these?
* Eloquence Crashes: I’m getting random speech crashes (about 1–2 times a month) even on the Home Screen. Worried the new "Liquid Glass" UI layers and background processing in this beta will make memory management worse for legacy synthesizers.
* Total Security App Failure: My security system app is currently a "black hole." I can't check or manipulate it with OR without Screen Recognition. Has anyone found that 26.4 improves AI element detection, or is it still a bust?
* Transparency Fixes: In 26.3, I had to toggle "Reduce Transparency" to get my employer’s phone app to render properly. I’ve heard Beta 2 tweaks these layers again—anyone seeing regressions with transparency/contrast settings?
* Database Stability: I do heavy database work in Tap Forms Pro. Concerned about reports of VoiceOver focus-jumping or keyboard lag in record-heavy apps in this build.
Staying on 26.3 for now because I can't risk a full restore (iCloud is full!). Any insights from the beta testers?

Okay! New #NVDA #eloquence release. Once again.
This release fixes all of the bugs in v9:
• your dictionaries no longer get clobbered by the dictionary updater
• the addon updates button no longer just displays an error
Moving forward after this release you should be able to use the "check for updates" button in the eloquence category under settings.
