by default if you install Ubuntu with the screen reader profile it will 
take you to the classic gnome interface, not the new Unity layout. Orca 
is present in both and there are translations of the desktop into 
German, however I wouldn't be surprised if some of the bits Orca reads 
are not translated. Some bits of Unity don't work well with Orca yet.
