[Bug 688940] Re: Festival can not speak other voices than default english

[Doug Blank]

The help clearly says that --language is an option:

$ festival --help
Usage: festival Usage:
festival  <options> <file0> <file1> ...
In evaluation mode "filenames" starting with ( are evaluated inline
Festival Speech Synthesis System: 2.0.95:beta April 2010
--language <string>
              Run in named language, default is
              english, spanish, russian and welsh are available

This is apparently an error in one of the Scheme files.

If you edit:

/usr/share/festival/languages.scm

and replace voice_rab_diphone with voice_kal_diphone, then english will
work. Each of the other languages needs to match what is actually
installed. This is a very brittle way to set languages.
