PROBLEM: My book is in German, but Freda reads it using an English voice; it sounds like an English person trying to pronounce German.
SOLUTION: In the bookshelf, right-click (or long-tap) the book, and when the menu pops up, select Edit.  Find the 'Language' field on the screen, and enter the two-letter language code for the appropriate language - in this case DE . Tap 'ok' to save this change, and Freda will now realise that the book is in German, and will read it using a German voice.

Each time I try to read a book aloud, a pop-up message appears telling me that Freda cannot open the document because the file is corrupt or not properly downloaded or one of the many other reasons it gives. I tried redownloading the book and even redownloading Freda but the error persisted. I proceeded to download one of these Freda in-app books; the art of war, and I tried to use the function again but the app still wouldn't read it, HELP.

note: all of the other functions under the read menu beside 'read aloud' work properly.
