When a user switches languages, it would be nice to have a prefered voice associated with that language. This prevents German dialogues spoken in English and vice versa... The best way I can think of this is by creating language specific config files. This would also mean that you can choose speed, pitch etc. for each individual language.

This is already possible for the espeak driver, but the code for this is a part of the driver itself. Would be great to generalize this, However I wonder how to deal with synthesizers which have more than one voice (e.g. male and female).

@jcsteh, thoughts?

I think we'd just need to do our best to choose an appropriate voice. If there are multiple voices, the choice might be somewhat arbitrary.

I think this is more relevant for choosing the correct voice for a new NVDA user. I guess there could be an option to choose a default voice when switching the NVDA language. However, saving of per-language voice settings is more something we'd do with profiles, which is how I think we'll handle synth switching for languages (#279).

In windows 10 NVDA uses onecore voices allready. Do they have language informations in their file names or s.th. like that?
