I know this may seem obvious, but sometimes this is forgotten, did you 
remember the quotes would need escaping in the espeak-generic.conf file eg. 
the option you add after the espeak or speak command in espeak-generic.conf 
would be something like --punct=\".,?!;:\"

Also have you contacted the author about adding the names for the 
punctuation in other languages? I don't know how it would need to be added, 
it might be as simple as adding it in a data file.
