[Sugar-devel] Speak Activity

[James Cameron]

No, not really.

The documentation still needs changing for the position of the
language selection, using the latest version of Speak, regardless of
your problem with Arabic missing.  That's what I thought you were
suggesting with:

Underneath Sugar, your problem of Arabic support is that "espeak
--voices" command doesn't list Arabic, because it is not supported in
eSpeak:

	http://espeak.sourceforge.net/languages.html

A quick search for espeak arabic yields Al-Mintiq and ar-espeak
projects.  Fedora doesn't have these packaged.

So it looks like a challenge to add Arabic.  Let us know how you go
with that.
