SPEECHDRIVEN SETTING OF A LANGUAGE OF INTERACTION

A voice controlled electronic device includes a controller (12, 13, 14) for initiating individual functions of the electronic device. The controller also establishes a language attribute associated with a language for interaction with the user. The controller ensures that at least part of the interaction with the user takes place substantially in the associated language. The electronic device includes an input (1) for receiving voice commands. A speech recognizer (4) recognizes at least one voice command in the speech input. The voice command is associated with a predetermined first control function of a device, and a distinct second function of establishing the language attribute. The controller sets the language attribute according to the second function of the recognized command.
