Re: Fail to setup default language of speech-dispatcher 0.9.1

[Cameron Wong]

Hi Samuel,

Thank you very much!

After I change my system locale to Deutsch(de), `spd-say 123` speaks in German.

I think I should contact espeak-ng maintainers to make espeak-ng support locale of Chinese correctly. Make zh-CN equal to cmn(Mandarin), and zh-HK equal to yue(Cantonese).

However, I am puzzled with this configuration rule. Locale is not always one-to-one mapping to speech. I am living in Guangzhou, China. I read in Simplified Chinese (locale zh-CN), but speaks in Cantonese (maybe locale zh-HK). How should I achieve my requirement?

When I run `orca -s` to launch the setting window of Orca, there is drop-down menu for me to change speech language. However, it seems does not work. Orca keeps speaking in current locale language. Is this related to the same issue? If so, does it mean that Orca cannot change speech language any more?

Yes, the default locale now overrides the spd-conf configuration, as
