I already set "FR" in various Asterisk files, but I did not investigate 
further. I saw thete's a "fr" folder in the "sounds", but it's empty. 
Anyway, I do not really need a full French-speaking system. Pre-recorded 
files replacing the original ones  will do the job for basic repeater 
features. Later, I may need digits/numbers, and letter spelling, but not 
sure.

Moreover, Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean sea with specific 
prefix (TK), and autonomous government. The final goal would be to speak 
Corsican, not French :-)

Investigating with speech synthesis is in my todo-list. Anyway, I didn't 
find anything interesting in the free/open-source world. The only good 
speech synthesis software I found are commercial, so, they're outside of 
the scope of amateur radio activities (and budget).

For now, I bought for $15 of credits on http://acapela-box.com, and I 
managed to generate all the required audio files, with a very nice voice 
which will, for sure, increase repeater traffic :-)  I requested the 
price of their full speech-synthesis "SDK", for amateur-radio / 
non-profit usage. Let's wait for the quote...
