Language issues?

[Aleksandar Kostadinov]

Thanks much Thomas for escalating :) I have some progress already (see
below). As well I looked at the source and found out what to look to
gem myself forward.

The language issue is in part my fault for not setting
 'GenericLanguage "bg" "Bulgarian" "bg_BG.CP1251"' in the open-sapi
 speech-dispatcher configuration file.
 I'm not yet hearing any voice though because spd seems to always
 expect UTF-8 input so I have to play with the setting, LANG and
 console config a little bit more.
