I only know of two ways to handle this.

First, some European voices do a good job with pronouncing English text, so in these cases you really don't need to do anything.

The only other alternative I know of is to use an English voice to pronounce the English text. Do you happen to have an English voice installed? If you have an English voice, you can do something like this:

1. Using your mouse, select the English text.
2. From the TextAloud menu, click Insert Tags -> Voice Change.
3. Under the Voice Change menu select your English voice.

When you follow these steps, TextAloud should wrap a voice change tag around the selected text. So the voice assigned to the article will be used to read the text, and switch to the English voice at the voice change tags.

That is really the best answer I know of, let me know if you have any questions.
