Brian, I guess 10.7 (Lion) is too old for non-English-language voices. You'll need to stick to English and use one of the older voices.
2!:1 'say -v ?' …gives a list of installed voices and the language each one speaks. It's all very cute giving them names, but you're expected to know that Sara speaks Danish, and Sin-ji speaks Hong Kong Chinese. Here's some I once used a lot (great for error conditions during development when smoutput is unavailable or inappropriate)… 2!:1 'say -v Alex The time is 09:30 PM' 2!:1 'say -v zarvox User not an intelligent life-form' 2!:1 'say -v trinoids There is chaumurky in your coffee!' I can play with the Darwin speech synthesizer for hours, without getting any work done.
