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

[Sreecharan Shatdarsanam]

maybe this is gonna be solved if we install the voice_rab_diphone which is available as a seperate voice in festival?
link: http://festvox.org/dbs/dbs_rab.html

Also for spanish say something like: 
echo "Buenos días" | festival --tts --language spanish
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_el_diphone
festival: fatal error exiting.

Im using Ubuntu 11.04
I think these voices are to be separately installed.  As jarnos said there is a parameter --language with 3 options : 
--language <string>
              Run in named language, default is
              english, spanish, russian and welsh are available

when I changed as doug-blank has pointed out, voice_rab_diphone to voice_kal_diphone it just says
 SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_kal_diphone now. 
BUT if i replace voice_rab_diphone with male2 only i.e. voice_don_diphone i works perfect!!
