Hi,
Ester,
According to Apple, the VO voices in OS X are localized in eight
languages.
Thanks for listening,

Hi,
Yes,
Thanks for listening,
Alex,
Apple does not supply voices for each of the languages it supports
in language localization. You have to purchase them from third
party sources as Will did. If anyone listened to the YouTube video
demoing the iPod Nano 4G spoken menus in French that Anne linked to
in one of the early posts about the Nano 4G, the person showing off
the Nano clearly stated (well, clearly stated in French) that to
activate this in French you had to install additional French voices
that were generally purchased from third-party vendors, since
VoiceOver only came with English voices.
Cheers,
Esther
