I must have been sleeping. The idea of putting the length of dc_language in the third argument of strncpy is to prevent buffer overflow, so it definitely needs to be related to the destination, as in the original patch of Samuel. I used the original patch by Samuel and replaced the dc_languages by dc_language and it works for me. Can you please verify that the attached patch works for you? Paul
Description: Some voice synthesizers use language descriptors which are longer than the currently allowed 5 characters. This patch fixes that as users have to get used to synthetic voices, so they want to use their own default. Furthermore, the language they need might not be among the espeak voices, and the alternative have a voice whose name is bigger than 5.
