Replying to blindbhavya:

'• Built-in speech synthesizer supporting over 43 languages'

Currently, if I counted correctly, in the Voices combo box in the Voice Settings dialog, there are 84 languages to choose from. I guess this portion of reflects old information, a time when ESpeak supported 43 languages.

Many of these are highly experimental and not really ready for daily usage. However, users have requested that they remain. Still, including them in the count suggests they are fully supported, which is somewhat misleading.

Also, the term 'over' shouldn't be used in my opinion, lets be exact, accurate and precise.

That would require that we check this count every time we update eSpeak. Being precise here is hardly important. Furthermore, this would mean translators have to update this every time it changed as well. That said, it'd probably make more sense to round the number (e.g. over 40), rather than "over 43".

In the count, we aren't specifying fully supported languages. We are only specifying the number of languages supported by ESpeak. In my opinion, Hindi (which is a supposedly fully supported language) and Gujarati (which is in testing) have equal amount of flaws in them, and if you are still not convinced then it could be supports 84 languages (x languages in development stage) or something like that.

Also, the term 'over' shouldn't be used in my opinion, lets be exact, accurate and precise.

It shouldn't be that much of a problem, checking and updating the count and updating the translation.
These are my thoughts...
