Hi, Kartik

The package festvox-ru has already been added to Debian/main.
Please, apply the patch :)

PS: please give me a bit of advice on the following subj

theoretically some of languages may be autodetected with checking
symbols in the string.
For example: if we have installed few languages for festival (for
example: only Russian and English). then language can be detected
with the following regexp:

Russian:  /[а-яА-Я]/ (/\p{Cyrillic}/)
English:  /a-zA-Z/

Also if we use dictionaries of *spell packages we can
(theoretically) detect the language using search through it ,

for example: 
 * if the word is contained in Russian dictionary(ies), then we are
   switched to Russian
 * if the word is contained in English dictionary(ies), we are
   switched to English
 * if the word is contained in several (or none) dictionary(ies),
   we use the previous (default) language.

Non-English users often use mixed texts (in my case: Russian and
English). The fact that festival can speak only one language grieves
me. In spite of the fact I have created and uploaded the festvox-ru
package, now I do not use it :(


I tried to write an easy perl-script, which generated lisp instructions
for festival (switch-laguage say-text switch-laguage say-text ...)
It works, but switches take too much time many time and text is 
spoken with unpleasant pauses.

What do you think about the question: how many similar problems
have been solved?
