[g-a-devel] Language Identifier for VoiceInfo [Multi-language support consideration]

[Aditya Pandey <aditya kumar pandey gmail com>]

I have ported my app's interface to gnome-speech in linux (in MS
Windows, it is implemented using SAPI). Till now, I have been able to
test only with US English for gnome-speech.

To provide support for multiple languages in SAPI, I could have used a
specific code for each language (LCID) much like following reference:
       http://www.microsoft.com/OpenType/OTSpec/name.htm

SImilary, I need to something in linux realm and for that, I seek your
advice/guidance/suggestions.

Since gspeech itself is a wrapper, is there standard for all drivers
for language (specific field GNOME_Speech_VoiceInfo.language) ? Like
festival uses 'en_us' and freeTTS/viavoice also specifying 'en_us'
instead of non standard 'ENU'. Is there some doc available on net for
this?
